Winchester Model 1892 Large Loop Carbine .44-40 Win Lever-Action Rifle – 20" Barrel, 10+1
Built by Miroku in 2017 under Winchester license, this Model 1892 Large Loop Carbine delivers classic Old West handling with modern craftsmanship. The full-size rifle pairs a smooth steel action with a 20-inch round barrel, a 10-round tubular magazine, and a distinctive oversized lever that invites fast, gloved manipulation. Traditional top-eject operation, a saddle ring, and straight-grip walnut furniture preserve the period look, while a sliding tang safety and rebounding hammer add discreet safety upgrades.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 1892 Large Loop Carbine rifle chambered in .44-40 Win.
The 20-inch button-rifled barrel features a recessed crown for consistent accuracy and a 1:36" right-hand twist suited to traditional .44-40 loads. Open iron sights include a brass-bead front post and a ladder-style adjustable rear leaf, giving shooters a crisp sight picture that complements the rifle’s quick handling.
The steel receiver is drilled and tapped for an optional tang or peep sight, offering flexibility without altering the rifle’s classic lines. Deep bluing across the receiver, barrel, and lever contrasts with satin-finished walnut stocks, producing a timeless appearance ready for field or display.
A large loop lever distinguishes this carbine, providing extra clearance for cold-weather gloves and adding a signature Western aesthetic. The saddle ring on the left side of the receiver reinforces its carbine heritage and facilitates traditional carry methods.
Safety features include a sliding top-tang safety and a rebounding hammer that together enhance handling confidence while remaining visually unobtrusive. With its 12.75" length of pull and full-size dimensions, this rifle balances comfortably and cycles smoothly, reflecting Miroku’s precise machining and Winchester’s storied design.
