I’ve read in other places and it makes sense to me that the 92 is the strongest of the traditional Winchester’s in that it is a shorter 1886. Being shorter, there is less room for stretching of the steel. I doubt that there is much difference. But I know that .357 loads that my Rossi will digest all day one after the other will lock up a Marlin. I didn’t even realize that they were that hot as that they were simply book max loads and had no pressure signs in my Rossi at all. But they locked up my brother’s Marlin and you had to poke them out with a rod.
And the Rossi even has a smaller receiver than a Winchester 92!
