By the time you got what you needed for a semi decent rebuild you'd more then likely have about 4 times more then what you could sell the finished product for .

That's what I've been thinking.
Zuke, the question is if the action is complete. And if it isn't then what is missing.
As for wood don't sweat it. Win '92 wood will fit even if it comes from Rossi or some other clone maker from Italy.
Up this way in Canuck land the word of the day is "patience". It may take some time to source a suitable barrel and tube magazine in .44-40, .44Spl or Mag, or .45Colt. But it CAN be done if you can wait it out.
Witty saying to be plagarized shortly.....
I guess a careful evaluation and inventory is in order. Looks like a fun project for some folks, trading material to others. Just need to decide where you stand.

Good 92s are not cheap but you will have a shooter, not a collector when finished. Look at the price of some of the Winchester clones, used and you'll have a good idea what it'll bring when done...unless you go all out for the restoration and mebbe get half what it cost plus your time involved. On the other hand, these guys are right, it IS a fun gun and will take a lot of Canadian game cleanly in the .44-40 caliber.
It'd make a nice rifle for you but don't expect to make money on the project.
looks to be an origonal "wanted dead or alive" rifle.
92s are like classic cars, worth more in pieces than whole...
