Forum:Annabelle is a Model 1892

I believe Annabelle was actually a Winchester Model 1892, not an 1894 as stated. The two rifles are very similar (indeed nearly identical), but the primary difference is that the 1894 was never manufactured in a .357 variant, at least not by any major company. A number of companies, Winchester included, produce the 1892 in .357. So Annabelle is almost certainly a Winchester 1892, not an 1894. Note that some 1892's vary a bit in the length and shape of the forestock, but the Winchester version does indeed match Annabelle.
