Hi guys -
I promised a buddy that I'd help him find info on an old original Winchester Model 1892 that his grandfather left him, but I'm having trouble dating it. I know there has to be a site or two out there for this purpose, right?
Anyhow, it's a "Sporting Rifle" from what I can tell:
Straight walnut stock, no checking
octagon barrel
Serial #659341
Also.. what's the function of the small "lever" on the underside of the end of the barrel? It lays against the barrel but can be pulled out to point straight down (in firing orientation.) Whatsitdo?
Thanks in advance, fellas.
