The rifle John Wayne often used in his movies was a Winchester 1894 Carbine, with the lever enlarged to a large loop so he could twirl it in order to work the action. It's too new for the historical setting of most of his movies. The remake of "True Grit" had Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) using a Winchester 1873, a gun more appropriate to the historical setting.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
