I was offerred a used 92 for sale in 45-70.
I am intrigued but the information available on them is spotty with lots of doubts about ther durability, regulation, quality of materials etc... On the other hand some people seem to love them. Assuming this one is well regulated without the dremel treatment to the lands near the crown, are these worth the bother? $2,500 to $3,000 is cheap for a double rifle, but it is still a lot of money.
I've read about the quality controll issues out of the box, and I get it, but I'm interested in learning about ones that started out fine and either have been used hard and past muster or have started to fall apart. Anybody have any first hand knowledge about these?
