Turnbull Restoration has added two new Winchester 1892 lever rifles to their existing line of Turnbull Finished Firearms. The new rifles are in deluxe takedown configuration and are chambered in .44-40 Win and .45 Colt.
“Our earlier Model 1873 and 1892 Turnbull finished rifles were so popular that, in response to demand, we’re releasing this new configuration,” commented CEO and Founder Doug Turnbull. “The anticipation of our next Winchester release was amazing.”
The rifle is a recreation of John Browning’s masterpiece of the shooting arts. Every rifle features a bone charcoal color case hardened receiver, hammer, lever, takedown collar, forend cap and butt plate. The octagonal barrel and full-length magazine tube are finished in Turnbull Restoration’s period-correct rust bluing. Small parts are charcoal blued.
The furniture on these classic lever rifles is all Grade 5/6 American Walnut, hand-rubbed with an oil finish to match the early Winchester red shading. The stock has a deluxe pistol grip and is factory-checkered at 20 lpi. Turnbull Restoration has also completed a tang safety conversion to take the rifle back to the half-cock safety as Browning designed it.
“Since we launched our Turnbull Finished family, we’ve worked closely with the great people at Winchester,” Turnbull noted. “These two lever-action offerings are more evidence of the solid working relationship we’re proud to share with Winchester. I can’t wait to see what we do next.”
These rifles are chambered in .44-40 Winchester and .45 Colt. Both calibers have a 24 inch fully-octagonal barrel and a full-length magazine tube that holds 12 rounds. Both have an adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight.
These two new rifles are the latest to join the Turnbull Finished line of classic firearms. Turnbull Restoration works through restoration and repair services to keep classic guns in service, but also hopes to encourage future shooters and manufacturers to preserve America’s firearms traditions through their Turnbull Finished line.
