1892's are out there but rare. A collector friend hooked me up with a bobbed but unconverted 1892 rifle. Bobbed as in the forestock had been cut off. I repaired the rifle. The 1892 cleaning rod I purchased from another collector friend cost me about half what I got the rifle for at auction. If ever ...

I should have specified! My 1899 has the 1901 rear sight. Does the binding knob on the 1901 rear sight use a detent spring?

I had an 1899 barreled action given to me. Complete with bolt. It has the original 1899 carbine sight. The ladder is bent a tad and the binding knob needs replacing.
