Silly question, but as a Western movie fan are there any quick guides to recognising the differences between a Model 1873, 1892 and 1894 by sight?[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] ([[User talk:Foofbun|talk]]) 15:34, 20 November 2013 (EST) | Silly question, but as a Western movie fan are there any quick guides to recognising the differences between a Model 1873, 1892 and 1894 by sight?[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] ([[User talk:Foofbun|talk]]) 15:34, 20 November 2013 (EST) | ||
:You can distinguish the 1873 by looking at the receiver, it has an extra metal plate or something that the 1892 and the 1894 don't. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 15:52, 20 November 2013 (EST) | |||

Didn't she use a Mossberg 464 in Extinction? -SasquatchJim.
Mossberg 464
I think we should give the Mossberg 464 it's own page, it's actually a very different rifle than the Winchester. - Nyles
Caliber
The model 1894 wasn't produced in .30-30 until 1895. Does anyone know what cartridge it was originally chambered for? -Anonymous
.38-55, I think. -SasquatchJim.
- .32-40 and .38-55 originally, followed by .25-35 and .30-30 in 1895. The .32 Special was introduced in 1901. - Nyles
Were any of those smokeless rounds or was the .30-30 the first smokeless rifle round Winchester used? -Anonymous
- .32-40 and .38-55 were both black powder rounds, originally introduced by Ballard for use in single-shot rifles. Both had previously been chamberings of the Winchester 1886 as well. .25-35 and .30-30 were both new, smokeless rounds, and both introduced in August 1895. .30-30 is commonly called the first commercial smokeless powder round in the US, likely because hardly anyone remembers the .25-35. - Nyles

- You can distinguish the 1873 by looking at the receiver, it has an extra metal plate or something that the 1892 and the 1894 don't. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:52, 20 November 2013 (EST)
