Was at a sporting goods store over the weekend and fell for a lever action

rifle, an 1892 Winchester model in 45 LC imported by Cimarron, so I ordered

one. Takes six weeks to get in. Really smooth action. ?

I've always admired the looks of level-action rifles, but most of the

"repro" 1873 and 1892 ones I've tried over the years just didn't seem

all that well-made. The Cimarron imports are very nice. The one I

ordered has a 24" barrel. Now I need a six-shooter in 45LC.

When they were issued back in the '70s, I wished I could afford the RCMP 100th anniversary Winchester.
I understand there were two versions...
the one offered to serving and retired members of the RCMP which used serial numbers MPxxxxxx
and the one offered to the general public with serial numbers RCMPxxxxxx
Seems to me they were about 4100.00 more than the garden variety Winchester.
