Steve McQueen, in his character Josh Randall in the TV series "Wanted Dead or Alive", carried a cut down Winchester 92 (as pictured) called "The Mares leg". In order to build the weapon for the show, the studio had to jump through all kinds of federal law and regulations, as law fron the 1920's (an anti-gangster act) prohibits ANYONE from cutting down a rifle or shot gun. Strangley enough , the law doesn't prohibit constructing one from scratch. So a company called Rossi makes "The Ranch hand". Although it's available in the original colt 45-110, it's also sold in 44 mag (mine) or 38 special. I looks like a real fun (and unusual) gun to shoot. [:D] For any Sci-Fans out there , the character Zoe in "Firefly" and "Serenity" (The co-pilot/1stmate) carried one. [:)]
