The Winchester Model 1892 was a lever-action repeating rifle designed by John Browning as a smaller, lighter version of his large-frame Model 1886, and which replaced the Model 1873 as the company's lever-action for pistol-caliber rounds such as the .44-40. Calibers for the rifle vary and some are custom-chambered. This is the gun often used in westerns by John Wayne and Chuck ConnorsThe Rifleman. A total of 1,004,675 Model 1892 rifles were made by Winchester.
