Thanks. I've seen those kits around.

 

I like them, I use one for my Wife's Henry & my Marlin 1894.

 

winchester 92's have been around for well over 100 years with most of them NEVER disassembled for cleaning. no disassembly needed, ever to maintain them.

That's certainly the good news for me. I'll be after one of the new models from Winchester with 16" barrel soon. Thank You.

Wow, those Japanese Winchester's are a little pricey. I just did a search for the 2011 list prices and a Winchester 92 carbine is about $1,100.00.

I have a EMF model 1892 saddle ring carbine with 20 inch barrel and color case hardened finish in .38/.357 magnum that was well under half the price above. These are made by Rossi for EMF to a better fit and finish than a standard Rossi/Puma and mine is very nice and has a silky smooth action.

I have a last year American made production 16 inch model 94 in .38/.357 as well. It's a handy little rifle, but between the two I think I like the 20 inch barrel better . . . seems to be better balanced.

 

They are expensive for sure, but once You will take one in your hand You will understand why. They are usually anything between $970 and $1020 here. Cool collection You have right there. I love the levers...well, maybe except for the latest Marlins.

 

There are some good videos on Youtube that walk you through lever action field/detail strips. To me it does not look that difficult or time consuming. I will be finding out first-hand because I have a Marlin 336 in transit to my FFl and the first thing I will do is a good cleaning and lube.

You won't have much trouble cleaning Marlin 336, I had two in the past, they are really simple to work on...Winchester 1892 from the other hand :whistling:

 

Two words. Bore Snake.

+100 only way to go.

 

I would suggest you use a spray cleaner to hit the breech and locking lugs to clean them, this way you dont have to take it apart to clean. The otis kit works well, I have a couple of them including one for field work.

 

Thank You, as usual, some very good ideas.

 

I love my Armi Sport 92. It is my main CAS rifle. It is a breeze to clean.
