Hello fellow lever gunners,
I just bought off of G'Broker a Browning B92 .357 mag with a 16.5" barrel. My question to this group is has anyone ever seen or heard of Browning making this model with a 16.5" barrel? I would have asked this question before I bought it but frankly I didn't want to advertise that the rifle was out there and for sale.
From the photos it does not appear to be a shortened barrel and the barrel is stamped Browning-92 so it's not an after market. The rifle also has a large loop like you'd see on a Rossi or whatever which I think is probably an aftermarket. Before I bought the rifle I tracked down a Browning B92 .357 lever so I can swap it back to original configuration.
I searched the net and I found a couple of oblique references to Browning B92 Trappers but no pictures, no details, no history on Browning having ever offered this rifle in anything other than a 20". Any thoughts?
I'll update when I get this thing in hand, most likely later this week.
