I have a gentleman near me who wants to swap is Winchester 1892 in 38-40 for my m1 carbine. His Winchester is a 20” carbine with no saddle ring. Does this make it an Eastern carbine? What do you think of the trade? My carbine is worth about $1400

Interesting 92 not sure it’s an eastern carbine though but it definitely has special features. IE no saddle ring and a rifle buttstock. The wood also looks like walnut.


Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

I'd make the trade, assuming all looks good with the 92.

I as a collector piece, no. As a shooter, you would have to look at shootability. The 38-40 looks as it has seen some use. How is the barrel and how does it cycle. A lot of those old lever guns are so worn,they jam easily. Of course same could be said for M1 carbine. It might have been one of the ones DCM ( now CMP) sold for about $19 back in the 60's-70's


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
