SAFETY RULES

1) Read the instructions carefully before use. Reading the manual and careful examination of the
gun are fundamental to avoid any kind of problem.
2) Be aware that you are handling a firearm; therefore your knowledge and behaviour may affect
your life and those of the people close to you.
3) Guns and ammunitions must be kept in separate places.
4) ALWAYS keep guns and ammunitions out of reach of children.
5) Store the gun in a clean, dry and airy place after use to avoid rust in mechanical parts that may
cause serious problems in functioning after a period of inactivity.
6) The gun must ALWAYS be stored unloaded, ALWAYS check that the chamber is empty.
7) Keep away from open flame or heating sources.
8) Never leave a loaded gun unattended.
9) Never leave the weapon loaded, it could fall and cause injury and death. Always point the gun in
a safe direction, and handle it as though it were loaded. This is especially important when loading
and unloading the gun, and when handing it to someone else. Never take someone’s word that it is
unloaded. Always make sure the gun is unloaded before laying it down or handing it to someone
else.
10) After use, clean and lubricate the inside of the barrel with appropriate oil. Grease or oil build up
can cause excessive pressure and result in serious personal injuries. Before using the gun again,
inspect the barrel and chamber to make certain that there are no obstructions in the bore. Remove
any oil residue with rod and dry patch before shooting.
11) Accumulation of rust in the barrel can cause excessive pressures resulting in serious injury and
may cause the explosion of the barrel. A rusted, pitted or eroded barrel should be replaced.
12) Before shooting ALWAYS check to ensure that the barrel is free of obstructions.
13) Never force a jammed action, this act could cause explosion of the round and consequent injury.
14) Use exclusively factory loaded ammunition of the caliber specified on the firearm barrel. Use of
different calibers may cause serious personal injuries to you and to people close to you.
15) In case of misfire, manually extract the cartridge from the chamber. If firearm fails to fire when
trigger is pulled, as a result of slow primer ignition (hangfire), keep muzzle pointed downrange for a
minimum of 30 seconds. If the round does not fire, remove the magazine, clear the weapon and
examine the ejected, unfired cartridge. If the indent from the firing pin is off center, light or absent,
take the gun to a competent gunsmith. If the indent appears normal compared to other rounds,
assume a faulty round, separate from other cartridges, reload and continue shooting.
16) Do not attempt to re-use unexploded ammunitions.
17) NEVER modify any parts of your gun. Any alteration may cause serious personal injury and
voids the warranty.
18) Only a qualified gunsmith may service the gun for repair or serious maintenance.
19) Pay great attention during transportation and use. Mechanical safety devices can fail.
Developing intelligent, good safety habits is the best way to prevent accidents.
20) Never rest your finger on the trigger until the very moment you wish to shoot. Always keep the
safety on until you are ready to safely shoot at an intended target (see safety features).
Note: Safety devices on guns are extras and are not a substitute for your proper and safe handling
practices.
21) ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded when transporting it from home to the shooting areas.
Carefully check that cartridge chamber is empty.
22) When you walk around with the gun in a shooting area, ALWAYS keep the muzzle pointed in a
safe direction.
23) NEVER run with a loaded gun, don’t cross any obstacle (fences or water courses, etc.) or walk
where there is any possibility of slipping or falling without having your firearm unloaded and in safety
position.
24) When selecting a place to shoot, always be absolutely sure of your target and the area behind it
before you touch the trigger, making sure there is an adequate backstop which will stop and contain
bullets. A bullet can travel through or past your target with a range up to 1 1/2 miles. If you have any
doubt, do not shoot.
25) Never shoot against a solid surface or in a pool of water, the projectiles could ricochet and shoot
toward any direction. Don’t shoot up into the sky.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 4

26) Keep all bystanders behind you, standing beside a shooter is not a safe position. Make sure all
other shooters and bystanders are well away from the ejection port.
27) Do not smoke while handling, loading or shooting any ammunition, especially black powder.
Keep black powder in a closed container at all times, reclosing the container after each and every
use.
28) Never drink alcoholic beverages or take any drugs before or during shooting, as this not only
constitutes criminal disregard for your safety and that of others, but will seriously impair your
judgment and vision. Never use a gun while you are taking medication unless you have checked
with your doctor to ensure your fitness to handle the gun safely.
29) Always wear and encourage others near you to wear proper ear protection when shooting,
especially on a range since the noise from your gun, and other guns close to you, could result in
permanent hearing loss.
30) Always wear protective shooting glasses to protect your eyes from injury by gun powder, gas,
lubricant, dirt or metallic particles, carbon residue, sparks or other debris.
31) Wash hands thoroughly after shooting and handling firearms to remove any unwanted residues.
32) NEVER leave the loaded firearm or the loaded magazine in the sun
33) By replica firearms there is no modern safety. In this case you must pay even more attention to
safety rules.
REMEMBER: No mechanical safety device is infallible.

The user is responsible for injuries or damages caused to him or to other persons.

COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR FIREARM CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

WINCHESTER 1892 SHORT HISTORY

Designed by John M. Browning to replace the Model 1873, the 1892 Winchester rifle became one of
the most popular lever actions of all time. It was based on his Model 1886, but reduced in size and
chambered for the popular short cartridges used in the Winchester 1873, it was found to be
mechanically stronger and cost less to produce than the '73, with a total 1,004,675 manufactured
from 1892 through 1941 in both solid and takedown variations. Model 1892 is the epitome of an
easy shooting lever and saddle gun. Simplification of the elevator and feeding system gave the 1892
a much smoother action than previous models. This makes 1892 replicas very popular with Cowboy
competitors. Armi Sport has developed a rich range of 1892 models for the sport of Cowboy Action
Shooting and offers different calibres, barrel lengths and versions.

WINCHESTER 1886 SHORT HISTORY

Model 1886 was developed by John M. Browning on Winchester’s request. The factory wanted a
rifle for very powerful calibers. Model 1886 is one of the most robust lever action rifles ever produced
by Winchester. From 1886 until 1935 about 160.000 pieces were manufactured in the versions rifle,
carbine and musket. Model 1886 could chamber the most powerful black powder cartridges of its
time: 45-70 Government, .45-90 and .50. At that time price was strongly influenced by the caliber,
with the strongest calibers being much more expensive. Armi Sport has developed a range of 1886
Lever Action with two calibers (45/70 and .444Marlin) and two versions (rifle and carbine) for
traditional hunting. The carbine version has a 22” barrel and a full-length, 7-shot magazine, while the
rifle version with octagonal 26” barrel has an 8-shot magazine capacity.

A NOTE ABOUT HISTORICAL FIREARM DESIGN

Armi Sport proudly manufactures finely crafted firearms product produced to famous historical
designs. These firearms are manufactured using precise modern machinery and high quality modern
materials. They are faithful reproductions of firearms originally designed in the nineteenth century;
however, in choosing to own or use historical firearms the user has to recognize that there have
been significant advances in firearms design and safety in the hundred years or more since these
firearms were designed. Armi Sport manufactures these guns not as state of the art firearms, but as
historically significant firearms for the collector. It is vital that the user be familiar with his firearm and
possible safety risks that may be present in the design. Most significantly, the user should realize
that the designs of safeties - or even the presence of adequate safeties - vary significantly on
historical designs and do not offer the protection against accidental discharge that modern firearms
safeties achieve.

Similarly, any firearm that is designed to be fired using black powder (or Pyrodex) has basic risks not
found in modern cartridge firearms. Black powder is a dangerous explosive and has to be used and
handled with extreme caution. The slightest miscalculation or carelessness with black powder
firearms can result in serious injuries to the user. The frame and barrel are not warranted for
damage caused by reloaded ammunition.

IDENTIFYING MARKINGS

Every gun we produce has a serial number that is marked on the receiver/frame. Close to the serial
number you will also find the manufacturers information with the model name and caliber marked
either on the frame or the slide as required by law.

These markings must not be removed from the firearm for any reason.

Area where serial number is marked under

the receiver

The serial number of the gun is visible under the

receiver. It must not be removed or modified for any
reason.

Area marked by National Proof House

Homologation marks of National Proof House

are visible under the receiver near the lever.

Lever Action main parts nomenclature

Lever Action Take Down

The 1892 and 1886 lever action models left a mark in the American history at the end of 19th
century.

Armi Sport has reproduced a replica as close as possible to the original gun.

Magazine tube located below the barrel can take 7 to 14 shells according to caliber and model. (In
the European version the number is limited to five due to local legislation). The safety (only half cock
hammer) works the same as the original gun. Pay attention to safety. The Take Down version is
extremely easy to transport thanks to the length reduction and furthermore allows the change of
caliber with an interchangeable barrel (see chart).

These rifles are very well known also for the use in western movies.

AMMUNITION

NOTICE
WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY
WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS THE RESULT OF, THE USE OF
FAULTY, OR NONSTANDARD, OR “REMANUFACTURED” OR HANDLOADED (RELOADED)
AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS
ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.

 Death, serious injury, and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition, bore obstructions,
powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components.
 Use only ammunition specifically recommended for your firearm (the caliber is specified on the
barrel/cylinder/frame).
 Always use cartridges whose length is equal or inferior to that indicated on the barrel.
 Use only high quality, original factory manufactured ammunition whose pressure cannot be higher
than the one stated by S.A.A.M.l. or C.I.P.
 Your gun has been designed for ammunition of a specific caliber – do not alter the barrel, chamber,
caliber for which your gun was designed.
 Be sure you never mix ammunition.
 Firearms may be severely damaged, and serious injury to the shooter or others may result from
any condition causing excessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing. Excessive
pressure can be caused by obstruction in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, or by the use of
incorrect or defectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded or damaged
cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage to the firearm and personal
injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure propellant gas within the firearm's mechanism.

Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible obstruction whenever:
 You have difficulty in, or feel unusual resistance in chambering a cartridge
 A cartridge misfires (does not go off)
 The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case
 Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in the mechanism
 A shot sounds weak or abnormal
In such cases it is possible that a bullet is lodged part way down the barrel. Firing a subsequent
bullet into the obstructed barrel can damage the firearm and cause serious injury to the shooter or
bystanders.

Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:

 If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or if the powder fails
to ignite. Ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out of the cartridge case, but
usually does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel.
 If the bullet is not properly seated tightly in the cartridge case. When such a cartridge is
extracted from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point
where the rifling begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridge may push the first bullet
further into the bore.
 If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel, immediately unload the
firearm and look through the bore. It is not sufficient to merely look in the chamber. A bullet may be
lodged some distance down the barrel where it cannot easily be seen. If a bullet is in the bore, do
not attempt to shoot it out by using another cartridge, or by blowing it out with a blank or one from
which the bullet has been removed. Such techniques can generate excessive pressure, damage the
firearm and cause serious personal injury. If the bullet can be easily removed with a wood or brass
dowel, (using hand pressure only, never "hammer" a bullet lodged in the bore) clean any unburned
powder grains from the bore, chamber and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the bullet
cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 10

 Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete chambering and may
cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is true of cartridges which are damaged or
deformed.
 Don't oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil preservative before
commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction between cartridge case and chamber wall that is
necessary for safe functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by
excessive pressure.
 Use lubricants liberally on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any
aerosol gun care product, especially where it may get on ammunition. All lubricants, and aerosol
spray lubricants in particular, can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly
penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause deterioration of the
propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is a danger
that the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.

The use of reloaded or improper ammunition voids the warranty.

Firmly shoulder your gun before firing, hold the forend, having the buttplate well against your
shoulder to reduce recoil.
Chamber the cartridge swinging the lever, then close it completely. During this action, the shell will
go from the magazine tube through the receiver and up in the barrel chamber.
Take aim and when on target, squeeze the trigger.
Now to extract the empty shell from the chamber, open the lever briskly. The extractor will eject the
shell that will be thrown up and slightly on the right side.
While the shell is ejected, a new cartridge is coming into the receiver and when the lever is closed
the loading cycle is completed.
During this phase strictly follow the recommendations shown in the “Warning” paragraph concerning
the safety aspects for you and bystanders.

Loading the magazine

First check the caliber of

the ammunition to be the
same as indicated on the
barrel.
Failure to follow this
instruction can result in
severe damage to your
gun and possible serious
injury to yourself or others.

With the muzzle pointed in

a safe direction, the lever
must be completely closed
to load the magazine. The
hammer must not be
cocked. With thumb
securing hummer pull the
trigger and slowly lower the hammer.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 11

Press the loading gate inward with the tip of the first cartridge until all but the rim has entered the
loading gate, then insert the next cartridge in the same manner, pushing the preceding cartridge into
the magazine.
Repeat this procedure with each cartridge, but push the last cartridge past the end of the loading
gate, allowing the gate to snap closed. Do not exceed the recommended capacity of the magazine.
WARNING: for a smooth loading, we advise to use FLAT NOSE cartridges. As to cartidges cal. 38
for model 1892, please make sure the minimum length is 39 mm (1,53 in).

Finger position when levering

Put the fingers (we suggest middle, ring
and little fingers) in the loading lever loop.
IMPORTANT: the forefinger must be
always kept out of the triggerguard and
away from the trigger not to risk an
accidental discharge.
The thumb should be kept outward far
from the hammer.
When the lever is completely forward you
can see the shell going through the
magazine to the receiver.
Close the lever also with firm and smooth
action.
During this phase, the breech bolt has
cocked the hammer.

Hammer in safety position

Hammer in safety position is strictly recommended when firing is not imminent and cartridge is
chambered.
Hammer is at full cocked position when the action is cycled using the lever, now you can put in
safety position. Place your thumb on the hammer and firmly hold it. While holding the hammer back,
apply just enough pressure on the trigger to release it and gently lower the hammer. When the
hammer is resting on the firing pin pull it slightly rearward until you hear the half cock click. This is
the original safety position, if you pull the trigger, the hammer will not be released.
To start shooting you have to pull the hammer back to the full cock position.
Now you’re ready to shoot.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 12

Rear sight adjustment
The rear sight is
manually adjustable to
shoot higher or lower by
moving the rear sight
ramp by one or more
notches.
This adjustment will
allow the rear sight to be
adjusted lower or higher.
It’s possible to adjust the
rear sight for windage by
following these steps:
loosen the screw on the
upper front side of the
sight.
Take a non-marking brass, plastic or fiber hammer and gently tap the rear sight base to the left or to
the right according to the direction you wish to move the point of aim. Tighten the screw again.

Front sight adjustment

Front sight is also adjustable by loosening the specific screw.

The front sight will move left or right direction.
When placed in correct position, tighten the screw again.

Main spring regulating screw

The power of the hammer percussion on the

cartridge can be adjusted.
Use a screwdriver and work the screw shown in the
drawing by tightening the screw the spring will be
stronger. Loosening the screw the spring will be
weaker.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 13

Take Down version

This version, previously described, maintain same way of use of the Lever Action 1892 but with
barrel interchangeable.
Here is how to change or disassemble it.

1st phase: magazine tube disassembly

Open the lever under the magazine tube.
Rotate the lever counter clockwise.
During this operation the tube will slip off.
When the tube is completely unscrewed,
open the finger lever and leave it open.
Note: light markings on the magazine
tube resulting from disassembly are
normal.

2nd phase: barrel rotation 90°

Hold the stock in one hand and

hold the forearm with the other.

Twist firmly the forearm in

clockwise direction so that the
barrel and the forearm rotate
90°.

Now slip off the barrel. To

reassemble the rifle repeat the
process in the reverse order,
keeping the lever open during
the operation.

Magazine reduction removal

In Italy the Ministry of Interior has recently limited the maximum number of cartridges in the
magazine for a rifle to be only five.
This rule has obliged us to use a magazine reduction.
In other countries, where this limitation is not required, the device may be removed.
Please check the drawing below carefully prior to proceeding with this operation. WARNING: the
magazine reduction cannot and must not be removed in the countries where the law require this
limit.
ARMI SPORT declines any responsibility on the violation of the device where there is such a rule,
the person that will attempt with tampering will do it at his own danger and risk.
Please verify local legislation before any attempt of modification to the magazine capacity.

1886 & 1892 Instruction Manual, REV October 2012 Pag. 14

 By model 1886, the plug can be removed by slightly
turning it so that the indent can be removed from its
socket in the barrel

When the rod has been removed, replace the plug in its seat.
In the Take Down version there are two screws to disassemble.

SAFETY FEATURES

NEVER ASSUME THE GUN IS UNLOADED. You can never be sure a gun is unloaded unless
you check that the charger is not in place/ the cartridge chamber / magazine tube /
cylinder is completely empty.

Never rely solely on mechanical features alone - always be extremely careful, use safe
gun handling practices, and avoid situations which could lead to an accident.
This firearm is equipped with several safety features which, if properly employed, can minimize the
danger of accidental discharge.

ORDINARY & EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

 Before performing any sort of maintenance, make sure the firearm is unloaded.
 By “ordinary maintenance” we refer to measures the user should take to keep the gun in good
working conditions.
 An “Extraordinary maintenance” implies the replacement of broken parts and therefore
disassembling the gun. In this case only authorized personnel or a qualified gunsmith should handle
the task.
 Also a long period of heavy use or inactivity requires an extraordinary maintenance; your gun
should be taken to a qualified gunsmith to have the action disassembled for professional cleaning
and lubrication.
 Your gunsmith will advise the best lubricant for the good maintenance of your gun.
 Do not leave oil residues when cleaning and lubricating your firearm.
 Make sure that the mechanism of the weapon is easy; if it starts to stiffen, or if corrosion is starting
on some essential parts, you should bring your gun to competent, professional personnel.
 Do not use pure silicon or lanolin.
 In the following pages you will find exploded views with a list of all parts. When ordering parts, it’s
important to specify date of purchase, serial number, model, caliber and item reference of the part/s
needed.
 If the gun has a problem that you cannot fix, DO NOT FIRE, send it to an authorized center for a
check-up. If you try to fix it personally, you may put in serious danger yourself and the people near
you. Always pay great attention and handle the gun very carefully, in order to avoid terrible accidents
which may change your life and that of others.

 Warning: Always use a cleaning rod from the chamber end of the barrel.
