The rifle is chambered in .44 WCF (44-40 Winchester) and used a smoothbore barrel so that short-range birdshot cartridges could be safely fired when she was shooting in front of large crowds in confined places like rodeo arenas and stadiums.
The good news is that if you have ever longed for a Model 1892, Winchester is offering special 125th Anniversary commemorative edition. To find out how to get one, visit winchester.com.
