Cimarron 1892 Lever Action Rifle, .45 Long Colt, 20" Barrel, Big Loop - Model AS067

The Cimarron 1892 lever action rifle in .45 Long Colt is built for shooters who appreciate classic American guncraft. This 20-inch barrel carbine honors the design that won the West, with a big loop lever that accommodates gloved hands or quick manipulation in the field. Whether you're working ranch country, hunting medium game, or running cowboy action stages, the 1892 platform delivers the reliable, smooth cycling that made it legendary. Cimarron's attention to period-correct details and modern reliability makes this a serious working rifle, not just a wall hanger.

The .45 Long Colt chambering offers moderate recoil, proven accuracy, and a deep catalog of ammunition options—from factory rounds to hand-loaded hunting and target loads. The big loop lever is more than aesthetics; it's functional design that speeds up handling and works equally well from the saddle or standing position. At 20 inches, the barrel strikes a balance between velocity and manageability, making this carbine nimble in brush or timber without sacrificing ballistic performance.

Cimarron 1892s are known for their fit, finish, and attention to authentic design. This model carries the saddle ring tradition—a practical detail for those who actually use their rifles in the field. If you're drawn to lever guns for hunting, sport shooting, or as a reliable ranch companion, the 1892 is the kind of rifle that improves with use and holds its own against anything made in the last century.
