I’m always impressed how knowledgeable people such as yourself take the time and trouble to explain this stuff so carefully for the benefit of others. Thank you Sir and much appreciated.

Thank you again George, I’ve been seriously thinking about buying a 92 and now I’ve been trained on this disassembly as well as the 86. Great videos and many thanks again! Gary

I like your padded raised support. It keeps the receiver off the bench making it easier to work on and protects damaging the finish of the rifle. That is clever idea for working on any lever-action. If I were you; I would invest in a small brass or nylon hammer and a brass or nylon punch, or make some from round bar stock. Using a hardened steel hammer makes it easy for bad things to happen.

Interesting. Love seeing how things come apart and back together. Find the cleaning process very relaxing and therapeutic. Completes the whole thing. Ie. Making the ammo, firing the ammo then clean the firearm, clean the brass. Gives a person time to think. Thank you for sharing.

I've used a deprimed, empty case placed under the extractor claw to hold the ejector in place during reassembly.

Another great vid on disassembling / assembling a Winchester. Now, I know exactly what to do and how to do it. So, I am glad I bought a Winchester 92 in 45 colt and a 94 in 30-30 and not an 86... The way you shoot this type of video is very helpful. Keep going. Thanks again from France 😃

What a great video! Thanks for having a camera that actually focuses. I’ve watched so many vids that are out of focus. Best 92 disassembly I’ve seen.

Excellent disassembly video George!

Thank you for producing this video. Great quality and easy to follow. Well done.

Living proof as to why God created bore snakes. This has got to be one of my favorite videos of all time. Thanks, Professor.

Fantastic rifles and beautifully built. Thanks for the great instructional video.

Boy, Miroku looks like they make a really nice precision made firearm, Man oh Man.

Incredibly well done video sir, just discovered your channel and happily subscribed. Thank you for making such great content!

a very well explained video George. If you don't know the set up of under lever it can be a nightmare getting it back together if you don't know your way around it....best video I have watched and I have seen them all...Well done George and look forward to the next video.....looks like my gun club in Wales in the UK might be opening in August...cheers...

Fantastic! Excellent content. I have the same rifle in .44 also. Finding videos, especially quality ones on this gun is very difficult. I compare the Miroku winchester to my original winchesters and personally find it to be a superior firearm.

I always look forward to seeing your postings, George. I'm amazed at the differences between the Marlin 1894 and Winnie. I love working on things, but from time to time, cleaning my old gal is a chore. So, I just remove the stock, stick the receiver in "Dunk-It" for awhile, let it drain and dry up, oil judiciously and call it good.

the action on my 2 92 miroku's are so damn tight. this will help me get them apart and start polishing. thx

I love lever guns and that is a beauty. Probably costs 3 or 4 times what my old mossberg costs.I wanted a cheap 30-30 to throw into the pickup cab. Yours looks very well made. gonna read about those. good video. Happy Thanksgiving 2020.

A much appreciated video sir , thanks 👍

Great video, and the directions are clear and easy to follow along, .not rushed. I bought one of these model 1892's today, and no doubt, I will soon need to do this to clean my rifle soon. I subscribed too, so that I may be able to look up this video again, if and when I run into some bother in doing this for the first few times. Thanks for this video, George.

Very nice Video...thank you from Germany!!!!!!!

I saw another video where the guy actually held the ejector in place by inserting a spent round case into the end of the bolt. Worked really well. He said you could use a dummy round or a snap cap as well.

I had to do a lot of work on my Rossi 1892 454 Casull, to get it to cycle rounds. Opened up the chamber entrance, worked on the carrier to get it to cycle. When all was done, I shimmed the trigger to get the pull down to about 3 pounds.

Looks like a job that needs to be attended to with concentration and some consideration for the equipment. I could tell you are sympathetic by the way you guarded the frame with your thumb next to the screwdriver in the screw slot. Nice.

Miroku makes a beautiful firearm. I wish they made the new 101’s

Very Nice Video. Thanks For Sharing.

Thank you very much for this great video which saves my life;); indeed, my ejector broke, despite a suitable and careful use ... on the other hand here, in France, hard to have the parts! Thanks again anyway, great video!

Looks like an annual service! A bore snake, shaving brush and gun scrubber should do for routine maintenance. (Frequent disassembly of slotted screws makes me nervous!). Now I want to go twiddle with my 94.

Muito obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Saudações São Paulo/Brasil.

Pretty simple , but not a job I would want to do in the field . I like your leather topped bench rest . I need to make one like it . I have a yoke rest but I can't turn my rifles from side to side like yours . Great video .

I have a Rossi 92, comes apart like this. Only I use paperclips to retain the mainspring. Also I use a fired case to help maintain the bolt/ejector when putting back together. Makes it alot easier. And I am not near as nice to it. Only done this take down on it like 3 times since I owned it. The rest of the time in between shooting I just run a bore snake down it.

With the rifle (24") most cleaning rods will not reach muzzle from the rear. Thus, a bore snake or cleaning from muzzle with rod fitted with a muzzle protecter. This procedure did allow access to disable the rebound function of the hammer and replace the OE hammer spring with a less powerful one. The action did not need slicking, the factory did a wonderful job of that.

Thanks, great video. Disassembling Winchester lever actions can be daunting if you are not familiar with them. FWIW, I have 3 Miroku made Winchester reproductions...a Model 1895, Model 1886 and Model 71. I bought all of them to relieve the stress and wear on originals I inherited. They are all excellently made. Dare I say it...even better build quality than originals! 😲 (I'm OK with coil springs and the rebounding hammer but the tang safety on later models is an abomination..) My Model 71 is just about the most accurate rifle I own at 100 yards or less!

I will tell you a much easier way to put the Bolt assembly and Ejector back together. Take a fired Cartridge and put it in the bolt under the Ejector and guide it back in the chamber while installing the lever. Works a lot easier.

Hard to elaborate when it involves wife's generous nature to get this done. Tried for 2 months to get enough information to install rear appeture on 1892. Tried Williams, tried Tang Site, called Skinner could not find anything on website. Talk to Rob at Skinner for half hour and he suggested Lo Pro with extended post. I have a good gunsmith who took on the problem and drilled hole in breach bolt for site. Suggested clearancing (mill) firing pin for extra thread or post clearance (adjustment). I hope this enough information to resolve any issue you may be working on.

Excellent take-down video George. Yes sir, that rifle was filthy dirty lol. Glad you gotter all cleaned up lol.

Hey George hope all is well. I was looking forward to your Tuesday video.. I hope your taking time off if so enjoy. I hope KZfaq isn't bothering you. Looking forward to your next post.

I dream of having a gun like that !

Well made video I’m just gonna share it

Great video as someone before me post, please do a 94.

I had a 92 rossi for 15 years before i got up the gumption to figure out how to take the bolt out of the receiver. It was dirty in there, but the barrel was clean!

I have theMiroku Winchester 52 sporter .22 A well made rifle indeed.

mighty fine video and I look forward to using it to disassemble my new 1892 in 45colt! is that a color code on your screwdriver tips... great idea!

Thank you Sir I brought home my new Winchester 92 in 44 rem mag only last night. What i would very much like to know is from where came the raised support you used?

This is very helpful. Is there any major difference when cleaning a Chiappa 1892?

Very nice video! How would you compare this Japanese to the Brazilian Rossi? Quality, finish, etc? Thanks!

Real nice rifle and great tips on disassembly and reassembly great job well done as usual. Are these rifles from Japan very expensive?

Thank you for this. Much appreciated. I would love to see you duplicate this video for Miroku 94.

I'd like to ask how accurate, and dependable was the Sharps Carbine used at Civil War's end?? Doc Mike USN

Great video sir. Do you know if the Rossi 92 would be the same as far as disassembly and reassembly?

So the ejector plug pin has a shoulder that prevents it from being pushed too far through the breach block assembly. I wonder if you couldn't make a small "slave" pin, out of nylon or plastic, to hold the ejector assembly in the breach block, during reassembly. The slave could be undersized enough to allow it to be pushed through the hole in the right side of the receiver, as the plug pin is re-inserted, from the left. I don't have a 92 yet, so I'm not sure it'd work.

Do you really have to take it apart to clean? If so, how many rounds would you recommend between cleaning? thx

Can the tang safety be removed to mount a long range adjustable sight on the tang.

Very good instructional video, but what strikes me is that reassembling the parts is rather difficult. When I disassemble and reassemble my Chiappa 1892 Sportingrifle (.45 Colt), it goes smoothly and without the "glitches" I see with the Miroku. While the system is the same. Any idea why that could be?

does the 1866 Winchester come apart like that one ? 1866 1966 centennial never been taking apart.

Hi George, awesome video of that 92 disassembly and reassembly. You explain everything to great extant and the trick of tiring the trigger back is great! Have you got any ideas for a aperture sight yet? With that Tang safety a Tang site is out. Thanks for all your hard work it's appreciated..

Winchester may have changed the hammer/main spring some where along the way. I don't know. But my original 1911 mfg 1892 has a leaf spring for its main spring rather than a coil spring. My 2 92 clones have a coil spring affair similar to yours. A little different because you have a tang safety. I prefer the coil spring. Your 92 seems to be well machined. Too bad it's not in 45 Colt😊

That's why I like marlin...

Excellent. Could you do an uberti 1873?

Have 2 1894's made in 1905 best winchesters ever made.

Dumb question here from a Subscriber: My 1898 manufacture date Winchester 1892 needs a deep clean- Will this video work for my original for disassembly/ reassembly of my rifle?

I just put my gun back togeter and every time I dry fire the gun with the trigger safety engaged it pushes the safety off. Can someone help please!

So I’m looking to buy this rifle. Is this disassembly necessary after your average range trip or can I clean the majority of the barrel and action without disassembly?

Looks like a small slave pin would hold things together then when you install your keeper pin it would be pushed out other side ie a tooth pick

How do you like the Miroku Winchesters as opposed to the Marlins (JM or Remington)? Would love to have one of those but “settled” for a Remington made Marlin 1894 instead. The Miroku Winchesters appear to be nearly impossible to get your hands on these days where I’m from. I actually like to get my hands on something before I purchase it. (Too old school I guess.) Think I’m going to really like the Marlin once I finally get to take it out. The Marlins appear to be well made once again unlike the horror stories I saw from a few years ago. That sure is a nice rifle you have there.

Do have a recommendation on a screwdriver bit set?

I the 92 AE 44 TRAPPER. IS it the same procedure ?

is that rest your using homemade

Is The Miroku a faithful copy of the 1892, or is the design tweaked for modern manufacture?

You've done a very good job, but I think I'll let the gunsmith take care of mine thorough cleaning every now and then.

really like the buttplate on that 92 winchester. I want one for my 464 mossberg. it has a crappy piece of rubber that hangs up on your coat. They say the two have some similarities.

last time I took apart my Winchester I lock tighted all the screws back in.

Eu sou brasileiro não entendo sua língua. Queria uma explicação dessa em português. Sera se era vc fazer para os brasileiros

Slave pin?

It would be nice to speak with you directly as I'm not computer KZfaq savvy. Your ordeal is something I just went through with my own 1892.

wish i had an extra hand so i could give you three thumb's up...!

Another nice video George. I have a couple of articles on how to disassemble/reassemble the '92 and slick up the action. www.ktgunsmith.com/92dis.htm and www.ktgunsmith.com/92slick.htm My Rossi has a different hammer strut because it doesn't have the tang safety, but pretty much everything is the same. Yes, that pesky ejector, ejector spring and collar can be fun to deal with, but it gets easier every time I do it. The '92 rifles are very popular for Cowboy Action Shooting. I was thinking about refinishing my Rossi '92 with a different painted finish, but the bluing is just too beautiful, so I converted it into a takedown rifle instead. www.ktgunsmith.com/92takedown.htm I decided this is a rifle I will never part with because the rifle is historical and I like the action.

I love these old guns I really do..... but I wish they would breakdown like a modern rifle. Push a button and turn a lever and everything comes apart. Maybe someone will design such a thing.

Beautifully made and finished but, so complicated, and finicky to disassemble / reassemble compared to a Marlin.

First

For 1892 breach bolt appetite site call Skinner for long stem lo pro besidesinstallation hole mill firing pin for extra clearance. Like your channel. 27th George

Maybe or maybe frikin not could I live with my John Browning lever gun made in the house of the rising sun but that bloody tampon safety is a bridge too far!

I got mine for half price cause the idiot I bought it from didnt know the safety was on and thought it didnt work!!!!

I know this is not going to be taken well but I think John Browning’s designs are way too complicated but I think he did that on purpose just my two cents.

This isn't easy. Winchesters are complex

This is a video of how not to reassemble a firearm.

Easy to disassemble? Not really....a Henry or Marlin is far easier.

Foreign import. Not made in America.

Very nice video! How would you compare this Japanese to the Brazilian Rossi? Quality, finish, etc? Thanks!
