Win 1892 - what should I expect to pay?

[Wheelgun]

I’ve decided to buy a nice shooter grade Winchester 1892, preferably in 32/20 but would consider 25/20 as well. Rifle length or carbine doesn’t matter much, but leaning towards a saddle carbine.

Are original Winchester’s the only ones in 32/20, or did Browning make any in this caliber?

What should I expect to pay? Shooter grade, but nice condition, say 50-70% finish, no rust or pitting. I’m not interested excellent or collector quality ones.

Thanks guys and gals

Browning makes the current crop of 92s. Condition is everything. $700 to the tens of thousands. Marlin has also made a few runs of 32-20 and they can be oh so much fun. For the condition you inquired, around here any where between $800 and $1250.

Thanks osteodoc,
I knew Browning was/is making the ‘92, just wasn’t sure if they made the smaller frame 32/20.

I’ve seen a few Marlin 94s in 32/20, but nothing recently.

I can deal with $800-1250, much more than that and I’ll order a new Cimarron ‘73 saddle carbine in 32/20, I know, apples to oranges.

25-20 appears to be discontinued and has to formed from 32-20. You may want to consider that before purchase.

A good usable origional Winchester 1892 saddle ring carbine in 25-20 out here will run 1800 plus easy.
A dog SRC will go 1100

FWIW, the two larger original chamberings (.38-40 & .44-40) will usually go for the big bucks ($$$), due to the Cowboy shooting demand.

The two smaller original chamberings (.25-20 & .32-20) will bring less money.

The level of big bucks ($$$) will depend upon the remaining % of original condition (wood & metal finish), from factory new.

For a shooter grade Model 92 in .32-20, I would expect to pay $700-$800 (I mean actually pay, not some asking price).
