If it doesn’t have to be new try Deweys gun and pawn @ Deweyspawn.com
I have an original 1892 in 357. My brother and I bought a shot out 38-40 rifle and had it rebarrelled to 357 when The Rifleman was on, complete with big loop lever and set screw. Two problems, one the crescent buttplate hurts the groin when shooting Chuck Connors style and the 24" barrel buried the ivory bead in my shoulder when I spun it (empty). Fun explaining that to the doctor. Cost, $45 for the gun, about $100 for the conversion. I shoot it once a year on my late brother's birthday.
The 92 is the perfect vehicle for a 357. I'm seriously considering making a carbine out of it.

If a rifle hurts the groin when you're shooting it, you're doing it wrong.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news .... + Connors used a carbine with shorter barrel. As an aside he was tall and lanky. Many lesser gods have spun 92 barrels into their armpits.Groins .... remain relatively ... uninjured.
I'm confused on how a person hurts either their groin or armpit when shooting a rifle.If a rifle hurts the groin when you're shooting it, you're doing it wrong.
Groins .... remain relatively ... uninjured.
Only thing I've injured was a collar bone and forehead.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t ever try to do any of the things with a gun that I saw on the screen (large or small... screen that is)...
This is a large dealer, of Winchesters old and new, which will ship to your FFL. If what you want is unavailable, check again, later. Not everything available inside the store is necessarily listed on-line, so one can e-mail or call for specifics. I have no financial stake in this business, other than being an occasional customer.

Hip would have been a better term. I know that Chuck was 6'6" . An eighteen year old doesn't consider things like that. How do you spin it into your armpit?

I see. I watch more ponderosa than anything. I've never seen the rifleman.

I, too, am a fan of the "original '92s" but I did pick up a Miroku '92 in 44-40 and found it to be a well-made rifle. A lot better manufacturing than the Rossi products which can be a challenge.

Cabelas, Bass Pro and Sportsman's Warehouse all list these Winchesters on their websites, but they're always out of stock. I've been looking for one myself. I like the Takedown with the octogonal barrel. Or one of the 1873 Deluxe, I 'd settle.
