Description:
WONDERFUL HOLLYWOOD MOVIE GUN! 1892 .44-40 20" FACTORY SHORT RIFLE, "S" MARKED (STEMBRIDGE GUN RENTALS, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA), #822XXX, MADE 1917. Stembridge supplied all the guns for the old Westerns from about 1916 onward. If you look carefully at the old TV and movies you'll see these 20" short rifles. Usually they took a terrible beating, as when they are thrown down from stage coaches (ouch!) or dropped from horseback etc. Stembridge used real factory short rifles with correct Winchester short forends etc., NOT cut down rifles. So, this makes them great Winchester 1892 collectibles plus Hollywood collectibles! This example is one of the better ones I've seen. The wood is surprisingly excellent with tight wood to metal fit. The receiver shows good aged blue with the usual edge wear. Barrel and mag are a soft brown with good markings and Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and small blade/bead front sight- probably had some cold blue added at some time in the past that has aged. There are two holes with filler screws in the left upper rear of the receiver for a Lyman receiver sight. The action is tight with good half-cock safety and the bore is surprisingly fine with good rifling and only some scattered light pitting- unusuall as these rifles were typically fired with black powder 5-in-one blanks that were rough on bores if not cleaned immediately. Has the typical "S" stamp below the serial number and in the wood behind the lower tang. One can't help wondering what movie stars and personalities worked with this '92 20" oct. short rifle!
