[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3609985, member: 41176"] I'm pulling up that it's made in 1906, which means it can shoot modern .32 WCF loads. The model 92 used the same action (but smaller) as the 1886. It's a Browning design and has two big lugs that lockup the bolt towards the rear. The lever pulls the lugs down to unlock the bolt so it can move rearward. Very tough and strong action and Winchester made it to replace the 1873 for the hotter ammo coming out. Nice gun. I'd clean it of loose dirt and oil it with a good oil and punch the bore. Don't scrub it, You want to keep that nice plum color patina. You can find .32 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), more commonly known as .32-20 or 32-20 Winchester, online and it pops up at gunshows and shops every now and then. Folks tend to buy it up though because they use it for CAS and to shoot in their old guns. If I find where some is, I'll PM you. [/QUOTE]
