Check out the one Graybeard has for sale, looks good to me. If I hadn't already bought an 1860 Henry and Graybeard would take a layaway plan I probably would get it.
Since it hasn't sold yet at what I consider to be an excellent price I might could be convinced to take a layaway plan sale on it. :eek: Price ain't dropping any lower. It either sells or I pull it off the market at that price. The gun is a super shooter and still absolutely mint condition.
I am new to this so I need some information from people who will know. I am thinking about getting a Hartford 1892 lever action, brass frame,24" octagonal blued barrel 45LC. What can anyone tell me about the quality of these rifles?
Unless you are looking at the rifle on a dealer's shelf I don't think you can get one like that. Or any new one not in stock somewhere. It seems EMF has dropped the Hartford 92 line. Why I have no clue. They are excellent rifles and mine at least is a super accurate one. I'm not gonna say they weren't importing them as you describe but will say I do not remember that version from the EMF website. The '66 and Henry models had brass frames but I do not remember the '92 having one.
But the quality of the EMF Hartford 92s is uniformly excellent. To the best of my knowledge ALL of the currently imported crop of model 92s are made by Rossi in Brazil. The only other ones were the Browning and Winchester versions made in Japan which might be even better than the Rossi's. But the Rossi's are excellent.
Mine is slick as can be and feds as fast as I can work the lever with never a bobble so far. Trigger is even quite nice for a lever rifle. I rate them a top buy. If someone doesn't take mine soon it will be taken off the market and I'll keep it around as a house gun and perhaps hunt and plink with it.
