New Winchester '92

[TomBullweed]

Has anyone tried the new Winchester Model 1892's?

I have a nice collection of lever-guns, as any good cowboy should, but I am thinking about picking up one of the new takedown '92's made by Winchester (probably in Japan?).  This might a backup CAS gun but would definitely be a totin'-to-the-woods gun.  Has anyone shot one?  Any information one lead bullets through one?

The "new generation" Winchester 1892's (been in limited production runs since the 1990's) are all made by Miroku in Japan.  I owned one from the 2002 run.  It was excellent quality.  Much nicer out of the box than the Rossi or Italian '92's.

Mine shot lead ammo with 100% reliability.  Only downside to these guns:  that silly tang safety.  It's a shame to look a that beautiful gun, then see that ugly tab on the tang.

I had a fella offer me a trade I couldn't refuse for it.  It's gone now and I do miss it.
