The Sporting Rifle configuration includes a 24-inch round carbon-steel barrel, a walnut rifle forend with a steel fore-end cap, and a straight-grip walnut stock.

Factory iron sights include a blade front set in a transverse dovetail at the muzzle and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with a stepped elevator. The left side of the receiver shows the factory two-hole drilled-and-tapped pattern for a receiver sight (Lyman 21/38 type pattern).
Markings are consistent with the era and model: Model 1892 "Model 92" rollmark format, upper tang marked "WINCHESTER / MADE IN U.S.A.", and barrel marked "MADE IN U.S.A. WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO." Winchester oval WP proofs are present on both the barrel and the receiver.
