The Cimarron 1892 Short Rifle in .45 Colt is a 20-inch lever-action rifle in the Winchester 1892 pattern, built on John Browning’s patents of 1884 (Cimarron part no. AS611). Winchester introduced the 1892 to replace the aging 1873, and Cimarron’s Short Rifle carries that design forward in a handy 20-inch length chambered for the same .45 Colt round as a Peacemaker-style revolver.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 Colt, the classic big-bore revolver cartridge of the frontier.
