Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle

(1/2) > >>

ScottARawls:
I am the owner of Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle chambered in .38 cal WC. I am not sure about which cartridge is appropriate? How many cartridges does a Winchester 1892 hold?

King Medallion:
.38 cal WC? As in 38/40? Load it up an find out. That's simple. My 92 44-40 carbine holds 10.

Coal Creek Griff:
As King noted, "38 WCF" stands for "38 Winchester Center Fire', which was Winchester's name for the .38-40 cartridge. The rifle will only safely shoot .38-40 ammunition. It isn't sold at every small gunshop or Walmart, but it can be found. It's an excellent cartridge in an excellent gun.

We'd love to see pictures...

Like has been said just load it up and see. I have a 1892 in .25-20. The most i have loaded in it is 10. Not sure if it will hold more. After i shoot the 10 it seems like i spend 20 minutes or so just looking for my brass! >:(

Abilene:
Cactus Joe, if you lighten the ejector spring inside the bolt, it won't fling the brass so far.  The spring Nate Kiowa Jones sells for Rossis fit in my 32-20 '92 and really tamed the ejection plus stopped nicking the case mouths.
