Current bid: $0.00
Is it worth that much?
I looked at it, and it is a rare bird - it's a saddle ring trapper in nearly 100% condition in the original shipping crate with original documentation - unfired and unused, which is pretty unusual for a model 1892.It may literally be one of a kind survivor...……...that said I doubt it. Maybe $7 to 10k for a high end collector.

I guess that's better than the "Mossberg" tactical lever guns. I actually like the blacked out but would prefer an all weather gun that is take down. Sort of reminds me of the Winchester shadows. Wouldn't be my first choice but probably not a bad field gun.
My new Henry all weather 30-30.

Beautiful gun. That bluing is so deep, and nicely polished. Looks like side gate loading? Wonder how the action compares to the Winchester 1873 or 1892 (which is very comparable to the Model 94) - is it relatively smooth (like the 1873), designed to take a higher power cartridge (like the 1892), etc? Will check out what year they were produced as this might provide clues.I picked this up over the weekend at Taylor's & Company's open house weekend in Winchester, VA. It was on their dinged and dented rack...a replica of the Colt Burgess lever action. It's in .45 Colt which isn't historically accurate. The mars in the stock are very minor for a big discount from MSRP. I've seen worse on new gun racks at stores still asking full retail.
Legend is after Colt went into production of these Winchester execs visited with a prototype revolver and threatened to begin producing it and harm Colt's handgun sales since Colt was going to hurt Winchester's rifle sales and Colt quietly dropped the Burgess after a few thousand were made. True or not has never been proven but was true that Winchester would buy up patents and makers that threatened their sales and Colt was too big to be bought. It's a good story whether urban legend or not.
Man thats nice!!! If they make that all weather with the new side gate, would you return to get that one?
I saw where 30-30's are released with the side gate AND tube load on them.
