After cleaning up the Winchester 1892 in from a previous video we take it up to Go Time Camp to shoot it for the first time since I've owned it. This Winchester 1892 that was built 1904 according to the serial number look up websites. I may have said 1906 in the video.
Another great design by John Browning. With production running from 1892 to 1932, Winchester produced just over one million guns in this model.
Got this particular one at an auction in 2003, would be graded out as poor, so I tied to clean it up the best I could and go ahead a shoot it. Unfortunately I was unable to get the hammer pivot screw out, after some repeated attempts. I welcome any suggestions on how to get that out, feel free to send a PM or post a comment.
As you can see in the video we did the sandbag and string on the trigger trick for the first shot. There was no issues with it so fired normally from then on.
This one is in .38 wcf or .38-40 caliber, which surprised me on how hard it was hitting the targets, it was really putting a hurting on the steel critters. I should have done a close up on one showing the the impact mark and dent. So when I said maybe I wouldn't shoot a deer with it, hmm, may have changed my mind on that.
