Scaling down the Model 1886 to the pistol cartridges of the 1873 seemed like a fine option, and Winchester executives approached John Browning, offering him $10,000 if he could produce such a gun within 3 months, or $15,000 if he could do the job in two months. Browning&#8217;s response was to say that he would take $20,000 and have the rifle in company hands within 30 days &mdash; or else he would give it to them for free.<\/p>\n<p>The $20,000 that Winchester paid him for the new rifle was well worth it, as the 1892 would become the best-selling Winchester rifle to that date, selling more than a million guns by the 1930s. It used the stronger and more cost-effective locking system of the 1886, while being chambered for the same cartridges as the 1873 &mdash; the .44 WCF (.44-40), .38 WCF (.38-40), and .32 WCF (.32-20), as well as a few new cartridges added over time.<\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merchandise! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;v=vv2LI9Z_qB4&#038;redir_token=iu5Mxux7nOOuYDz_poD4kHgltYN8MTU5MjE4NDE2MUAxNTkyMDk3NzYx&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.bbtv.com%2Fcollections%2Fforgotten-weapons\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forg&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-60954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-17-Winchester-Lever-Action-Development-Model-1892.png 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 15 Jun 2017 As the Model 1873 began to show its age, Winchester wanted a new rifle to take its place in the company catalog.
