I have not with any of the ammo I have fired, and I find that a lot of the complaints of this comes from forum posts that are a few years old. Some people have reported misfires or light strikes when shooting with this gun. When I fire my lever guns, I cycle them with the stock still against my shoulder so I don't even notice any stiffness. Also, when you're out in the field actually shooting the gun, you're not going to notice it anyways. With some cycling and firing, this seems to have lightened up noticeably. This seems to need a stiff spring, so when you initially cock the gun, you feel the bolt overcoming the stiffness of the hammer spring. Essentially, when you fire the gun, it will discharge the cartridge, and then put itself into the half cock position automatically. One of those features is a rebounding hammer. As many already know, this Winchester is not a 100% faithful replica of the original 1892 it has some new features with safety in mind. There's only one caveat to that the initial effort to cock the hammer with the lever is heavy. You can tell that a lot of quality was put into assembling the gun and finishing it. Even the little carrier appears to be machined (you can see little lines on it). You don't get that feeling with the Winchester/Miroku gun. I own a few American made guns (Remington, Mossberg, Sig Sauer, Colt, Marlin) and while many of them are absolutely beautiful, I can tell where money has been sacrificed or parts have been cheapened to ensure that they stay below a certain price-point. The internal parts seem extremely well done, and I don't see any indication of stamped or cheap parts used anywhere. The wood, while often plain-looking compared to some of the Chiappas I have seen, is smooth and fits the metal very nicely, just a tiny bit higher around where the buttstock meets the action. The fit and finish of these guns is gorgeous. I wanted to write up a review from a guy who owns two of these new production guns in case somebody here is looking to purchase one. 44 through each, including some factory loads but mostly reloads. I have fired both of my Winchester 1892 rifles, putting a couple hundred rounds of. But now they're the most fun and interesting guns in my collection.
Up until that point, I had never even handled a lever gun before. 44 mag and a "JM" Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited in. By summer's end, I had three two Winchester 1892 short rifles in.
I was working long, 12-hour shifts at a stressful job and my outlet was purchasing lever actions for some reason. My gun purchasing tends to be impulsive and I am not sure how, but the urge to acquire a lever-action rifle popped into my head and wouldn't go away. In July of 2014, I purchased a Winchester 1892 out of the blue. I initially found it after googling some stuff on 1892 rifles to see what kind of information I could gather.
