"Mare's Leg"

Replica Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg" with standard lever loop and rounded barrel- .44-40.

Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg" w/ D lever loop and rounded barrel - .44-40.

Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg" with standard lever loop, mounted with a "scope", and rounded barrel- .44-40.

A 6 shot cut down rifle/pistol version of the Winchester 1892 rifle was used as a short carbine and called the "Mare's Leg". Though some of the Mare's Legs seen in films are cut from original Winchester 1892s, clones built by Marlin, Rossi and Puma are also seen in chains of commerce. Since the front sight was removed with the cut down of the barrel, many examples of the Mare's Leg remove the rear sight to lighten the firearm. It is not necessary since the gun is a 'point and shoot' close quarters firearm.

Per ATF regulations, any 'pistol' cut down from a firearm that was originally a rifle is a 'short barreled rifle' and subject to all the restrictions of short barreled long guns. The Puma M-92 clone of the Mare's leg is a nearly identical gun, however it was built from the factory as a pistol, so per ATF regulations, it is a handgun and not a short barreled rifle.
