Manufactured in 1922, this is a rare Trapper carbine in a scarce caliber with an even rarer 15 inch barrel. It features a full magazine with a single barrel band, square base pinned front sight with two leaf rear sight. There is a staple and saddle ring on the left side of receiver. Casehardened lever and hammer with remaining surfaces blue. Smooth, straight grain American walnut with straight grip stock and steel carbine buttplate. It has the very rare extra short 7-7/8 inch forearm and the barrel address is properly placed on the left side between the rear sight and barrel band, with "25-20 W.C.F." marked at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three line model information. Accompanied by a letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives dated 11 July 2005 listing this carbine as one of several carbines being removed from the NFA (National Firearms Act) and classified as a curio and relic. Robert C. Rennenberg, noted author & collector of Winchesters, has stated in 1993 that according to BATF records there are only 3 known Model 1892s with 15 inch barrels in this caliber and he had not personally seen a specimen. A very rare find in a Model 1892 Trapper Saddle Ring Carbine.
