Notes: One of only four known smoothbore "movie guns". These carbines were specially made with 20" octagon barrels and short (7 7/8") forends for the movie industry and late Wild West Shows in 1929. It's believed that less than 100 were produced, most with rifled barrels. Only 17 are known to exist today, including 4 with factory smoothbore barrels. An article in the Fall 2022 issue of "The Winchester Collector" documents this ultra-rare Winchester 1892 configuration.
