Seriously thinking about an NOS(new/unfired in box but made some years ago) Winchester 1892 SRC in .45 Colt. A FFL friend of mine owns it and has been keeping it for himself..however he's lost interest in .45 Colt lever-guns and says he will let it go for what he has in it(around $900).
Anyhow..He really doesn't recall when he bought the SRC M1892...and it really doesn't match anything Winchester is cataloging currently. This model is a standard looking 1892 SRC, 20" barrel/mag-tube, carbine buttplate...but new enough it has the tang safety and probably a rebounding hammer(didn't check for that).
When did Winchester market standard 20" SRC carbines in .45 Colt?
Did these have the rebounding hammer/misfire issues like the M1886 actions?
Thanx Rag
