Winchester Model 1892 ?

I'm not sure that I had identified this rifle correctly. It's barrel and stock are a little different from the M92. Please help to identify it. Thanks! Greg-Z 00:25, 26 January 2012 (CST)

Chukcha's guns

In this shot it's not seen clear, but I have some guess

Maybe, it's just optical illusion, but (maybe, just for me) is see some rope, coiled on the buttstock (not be confused with the carrying sling).

It's possibly maybe a wick of the matchlock. Due the speedy burning, the wicks were a very long (more the meter). Such long wicks were inconvenient for carry, so it were coiled around the buttstocks. I can't say exactly on this shot, so, can be this gun seen from other angle? If I see a few more screenshots, I possibly shall help with ID. Pyramid Silent (talk) 14:41, 9 November 2017 (EST)

I guess that it is so called "sibirka", a general nickname of flintlock or percussion cap hunting rifles (yes, with rifled barrel), popular among native Siberian hunters in XIX century. Here is a photo of a similar gun (1900s-1910s).

And this gun (at the right) possibly also.

More research is needed. Greg-Z (talk) 14:58, 9 November 2017 (EST)
