Winchester's Model 1892 Carbine is a 6.5-pound lever action in .44-40 Winchester with a 20-inch button-rifled barrel and a tubular magazine that holds ten rounds, giving 10+1 on board. Overall length is 38.5 inches. The sights are traditional: a Marble front and a semi-buckhorn rear that adjusts. Blued steel sits in a walnut stock, with a steel buttplate and a contoured carbine strap on the forend, and the rifle has a manual safety. It is not set up for an optic.

A .44-40 is a centerfire cartridge larger than .22, which makes this carbine legal for Oregon deer under the ODFW rule and a short, quick-handling rifle for the western general buck season, October 3 to November 6, 2026. Eastern Oregon buck hunting is by controlled Deer Hunt Area draw only. The five-round cap in the rules applies to semi-automatic rifles, so the lever gun's full tube is not an issue in the field.
