Kent Klineburger has generously donated his late father's hunting rifle.

This restored Winchester Model 1892 .44-40 rifle was manufactured in 1897. One of Chris Klineburger's personal firearms, it was pulled from a case of 92s, new in cosmoline, during a sojourn with friends in Arizona.

John M. Browning designed the 1892, the second of several Winchester lever-actions to his credit.

It became one of the company's most popular rifles. The last of the original 92s came off the line in 1941.

This is a very early rifle, fully functional. A notable piece of history, it has value, too, because of its provenance.

Chris is well remembered as a world-traveled hunter and a pioneer in bringing big game hunting to others.

This package includes Chris's Winchester Model 1892 .44-40 rifle, Chris's leather scabbard, and a copy of Chris Klineburger's autobiography Game Masters of the World.

We Thank Kent Klineburger for his Donation!
