Apparently Winchester has it together, or Miroku...

Gave the New 1892 a good going over with some dummy rounds. The gun accepts a longer COAL than some of the old guns, which is good for me.

The bore groove measured .4285" as close as I could measure. Chamber accepted ammo loaded with .429" and .430" bullets just fine. Ammo with .431" bullets was a no go. Sounds like a well thought out group of specs.

Fit and finish are first rate. As we mentioned yesterday, same as the beautiful Brownings we've seen through the years.

Wood is straight grain Walnut, but wood to metal fit is perfect.

Trigger pull is better than expected and on par with most factory guns.

I much prefer the rebounding hammer and tang safety over the bolt mounted twist safety that's an eyesore. The tang safety is very well low profile and unobstructive.

Think this will be a shooter, more later.
