*Stembridge Winchester 1892 .44-40
SN: 610455 'SCR' Interesting 1911 production lever-action repeating rifle chambered in .44 W.C.F. that is believed to have been a Stembridge Gun Rentals gun. This rifle has been seen in the movies Ft. Apache, Searchers & Yellow Ribbon in the hands of John Wayne with it's distinct rifle buttplate. As the story goes the stock was broken when a stunt man fell off his horse with the gun and broke the stock & Stembridge restocked the carbine with it's current rifle buttstock. Purchased from a man in Northern California who worked in movies as an extra. Exhibits standard features & marking(with exception of the stock) and is in the white with some dark pitting on the barrel. Stamped "EEE" under the serial number on the receiver. Includes a box of black powder blanks with Stembridge Gun Rentals label and thirteen blanks. Action functions well, bore is good and wood stocks are good. Condition is good. ***C&R Firearm*** ***Modern Firearm***
