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.
