Lever sighting- "Death Rides a Horse"

[Otto]

In the very beginning of the movie, when the guy is practicing with different guns, he is cycling what appears to be a Winchester 94. I can't tell the difference between a 92 and 94, except when the lever is worked, if you know what I am referring to. Can anybody confirm this?

Otto,

I can't speak to the movie, but I can say this: the loading port on the 94 is longer than the port on the 92. Also, the receiver of the 94 appears to be a little longer than that of the 92.

I guess I should watch that movie!

I see what you mean, after comparing some photos. I'm not sure I could tell without getting a really good look, though. What I was referring to, was the fact that when the 94's lever is cycled, there is a sort of linkage that becomes visible under the receiver. The 92 does not do this.

A simple way to tell the difference if the rifle is in good focus. The lower part of the receiver is round from the loading gate foward on the M.92. The frame on the M.94 is square looking, even though it is beveled on the bottom. And you are right, the guts appear to fall out of the M.94 when it is levered.

IF... you're able to see it, the finger lever on a 92 is a long oval with no protrubences; the 94 has a flat, squared corner in the forward, uper corner to press against the trigger block safety. But, the above answers are correct also.
