[NEW] Chiappa 1892 L.A. Trapper — .357 MAG, 16" Octagonal Barrel, Walnut Stock | $1,242.95
Just landed at SFRC - theammosource.com and worth a look if you've been in the market for a lever gun with a bit of character.
The Chiappa 1892 is a true reproduction of the John Browning-designed Winchester 1892, one of the rifles that defined the lever-action platform. Chiappa machines it to original tolerances, and some parts are still interchangeable with an original 1892, which says something about how faithfully they've built it.
This specific variant is the L.A. Trapper, the shorter, handier configuration with a 16" octagonal barrel and a walnut stock. The octagonal profile isn't just for looks; it was the standard on working rifles of the era and it gives the gun a balance that round barrels on modern reproductions sometimes miss.
Chambered in .357 MAG, which also feeds .38 Special, so you've got the option to run cheaper .38s for range work and step up to .357 when you need it. That flexibility is a big part of why the pistol-calibre lever gun has never really gone out of style.
10 in stock as of today.
