The Winchester is a circa 1900 Saddle Ring Carbine, and it's a shooter.

No, me and my bride are going on 45 years. Lucky in love, married to the most perfect woman I have ever met.
As a side note; The old lifter is leaning against the fireplace, right where she placed it. Next stop, up on a wall. Just a well worn old 12 gauge, but old lifters make great wall art.
BTW, last night was one of those 3rd glass nights, where I usually try to just read - not post - but it looks like I didn't cause any major damage ; - )

the gun that won the West,

I must disagree. The "gun that won the west" wasn't some $17 Winchester, it was a $3 Civil War Springfield converted to a shotgun that the average sod buster could afford to own.

Winchester only "won the west" in the movies and on TV. This was the conclusion at a Remington Society seminar years ago where Schuyler, Hartley & Graham shipping records being discussed showed thousands of these converted Springfields being shipped west for every Winchester, Remington or Colt.
