LEVER ACTION
Hollywood made it into an indelible icon of Western mythology using it in
hundreds of motion pictures and television shows, carried by famous actors such
as John Wayne, Chuck Connors, Steve McQueen.
Hollywood studios purchased the ‘92 in quantity because it was in regular
production until World War II but looked sufficiently “Old West” to substitute
for valuable antiques. Furthermore, it could fire the standard Five-in-One blank
cartridge, together with the Colt Single Action Army “Peacemaker” revolver. This
practice mirrored the real cowboys, who found it convenient to carry a rifle and a
revolver chambered with the same ammunition.
Three lever versions are available as an accessory and are interchangeable on all models: Standard, Rio Bravo
and Bounty Hunter. All 1892 models feature a standard lever, with the exception of models “Rio Bravo” and
“Pistol” which feature a “Rio Bravo” type lever.
