So any way, as to the feed problems I mentioned in my earlier post. I gave the ol girl a quick cleaning and a little oil and found out that if I cycle her quickly and deliberately she seems to feed o.k. Now I just need the wife to wake up so I can step out the front door to the test fire range. I'll let you know how it goes.

Test fire it out the back door, she'll wake up......... lol!

Gunny, most of the 92's, IMHO, have to be levered with authority, if you know what I mean. Now, you have to find a mold to feed your 92. I bought the RD 360-190 for mine. Good Luck with your new 92'.

Nice! I'm currently lusting for a 24" '92 in .45 Colt. But why does the caliber stamping look funny in the first photo? Almost looks restamped?

My guess is, it's a 32 wcf rebored and chambered to .357 mag. I've got a 92 in 38 wcf which is a fun one to shoot. I've got the hankering for a repro 92 in 357 or 45. Maybe both:bigsmyl2:

Since the 92's were never made in 357 mag. it would have to be either restamped or rebarreled.

VA Jim you're right it was a 32-20 rebored to a 357 mag, which is fine with me. It is in nice shape made in 1910 according to the ser#.

No, it is THE original .357 WCF prototype, long-sought proof that Keith and Wesson stole the cartridge design from John Browning.

Oops, guess I was a little late with my clean & lube advice. Congrats on a nice little shooter!
