Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some lever guns are built for the display case. This one is built for the float plane. The Taylors & Company 1892 Alaskan starts with the time-proven 1892 action, then wraps it in gear meant for wet weather and rough country: a matte chrome finish on the steel receiver and barrel, plus walnut furniture coated in a black soft-touch rubber over-mold that keeps its grip when your gloves are soaked. Made in Italy by Chiappa and imported exclusively by Taylors, the fit and finish on these rifles gets high marks from just about everyone who handles one.
The headline feature is the takedown system, done the same way as the original 1892 takedowns with interrupted threads at the receiver. Lever the action open, back out the magazine tube, give the barrel assembly a quarter turn, and the whole rifle splits into two halves short enough to stash in a pack or duffel. No tools, no fuss, and it goes back together just as fast. At 34 inches assembled and around 5.9 pounds, it is an easy rifle to live with even before you break it down.
The 16 inch half-octagonal barrel is chambered in .44 Magnum, and the action is tuned to run Hornady LEVERevolution loads, which wring impressive velocity and energy out of this cartridge from a carbine-length barrel. Capacity is 5+1 through a traditional loading gate. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 with a thread protector installed, and the oversized D-shaped lever cycles fast and works great with gloves on.
Up front you get a dovetailed red fiber optic that stands out even in dim timber, paired with an adjustable express-style peep at the rear mounted on an integrated rail. The barrel is also drilled and tapped, so adding a scout-style optic or red dot is simple if irons are not your thing. It is a smart setup for a rifle that might be defending a fish camp one week and filling a deer tag the next.
It uses the same interrupted-thread system as the original 1892 takedown rifles. With the action open, you unscrew the magazine tube using the disassembly lever, then rotate the barrel assembly free of the receiver. The rifle splits into two compact halves in seconds with no tools, and reassembly is just as quick.
Yes. The rear peep sight sits on an integrated rail, and the barrel is drilled and tapped for scout-style optic mounts. A forward-mounted scout scope or red dot pairs well with the takedown design since the optic stays with the barrel half and holds zero better than a receiver mount would on a takedown gun.
The rifle is chambered for .44 Magnum, so .44 Special will chamber and fire safely. As with most tube-fed lever guns, feeding is smoothest with full-length magnum cartridges, and the action is specifically tuned for Hornady LEVERevolution loads. If you plan to run Specials regularly, cycle a few through first to confirm they feed well in your rifle.
It shines as a packable hunting and backcountry rifle. A .44 Magnum from a 16 inch barrel picks up serious velocity over a revolver, making it a solid choice for deer, hogs, and black bear at woods ranges. The takedown feature, weather-resistant chrome finish, and rubber-coated stock make it especially popular for backpack hunts, boats, and bush plane travel.
