About the Cimarron 1892 Cowboy Rifle
The Cimarron 1892 Cowboy Rifle is a lever-action rifle chambered in .45 Colt, a faithful reproduction of the classic Winchester Model 1892 designed by John Browning. Built by Armi Sport of Italy and imported by Cimarron Firearms, it features a 24-inch octagonal barrel, case-hardened receiver, walnut stock, tubular magazine, and traditional blade front and semi-buckhorn rear sights. It is popular among Cowboy Action Shooting competitors and Old West firearms enthusiasts.
The original Winchester Model 1892 was designed by John Browning as a scaled-down version of the larger Model 1886, and became one of the most iconic lever-action rifles of the American West. Cimarron's faithful reproduction keeps the design alive for Cowboy Action Shooting and collectors.
