Winchester 92 rebuilds.

Wed Nov 08, 2023 6:41 pm

I have 2 original 44/40 saddle ring carbines. Almost smooth bore. Gotta reline, re square receiver, rust blue, and return one in 44/40. Other will get the same treatment but become a 38/40. Both require some welding an re tapping of threaded holes.

I will.. really hoping I don't need to make oversized locking lugs for these.hoping it was black powder that shot them out. One is WW1 era other is one of 12k without model markings for export. 1909 I believe from memory.

Wow. I’m really interested in watching how these take shape!

I expect some final results by the weekend, now. :wink05:

So if I zoom up on that pic, am I seeing the new barrel liner inside the original barrel?
