Those of you in the NRA who get the American Rifleman know what I'm talking about. The October issue is loaded with John Wayne firearms infromation. The Duke's Colt by Gary Paul Johnson is a great read. I'd read somewhere before about his personal Colt he used through many movies. It was well woren with much of the writing woren away in places. The article goes on to tell more of the story behind the classic Colt.
Another article covers FN-Browning's two new Winchester model 92 John Wayne 100th Anniverary Winchesters. It mentions Winchester's commemortive John Wayne loads in .45 Colt, .44-40 WCF, and .30-30 Win. A sidebar tells of the "Stagecoach" model 92 sold this year at auction. It is a SBR with a 15 1/2" barrel. Intesting to note it was not a classic .44-40 WCF, but a .32 WCF. Selling price $113,000.
A follow up article talks about other commemorritive John Wayne firearms.
