I snapped this photo in a restaurant in Sabinal, Tx. The photo was taken (or presented) circa 1994 I think and is of a well known in the area Texas Ranger upon retirement. Even though the photo is hung in a public place I did not feel right about posting the whole photo.
The rifle is a Winchester 1892 (type?) I think but the rifle appears to be stainless steel and the front sight and the butt stock and plate do not look right. The butt stock plate is flat for one thing and does appear to be steel. I am almost of a mind this is an early stainless Puma Model 92. Since Rossi brought the 1892 back in or about the mid 70s it could be a Puma or it could be that the black and white photo just displays the worn and polished blue as silver.
