The John Wayne Custom Grade Model 1892 rifles are offered with tasteful gold-tone embellishments on a highly polished blued finish. The large loop lever is a trademark of John Wayne. A delicate spade checkering pattern with textured accents decorates the Grade 5/6 satin walnut stock and forearm. The Custom Grade edition is limited to only 1,000 rifles, giving this model enduring collector appeal for generations to come. The first 1,000 High Grade rifles are offered as a matched set with the Custom Grade model.
The right side of the scroll engraved richly blued receiver displays a portrait of John Wayne holding his trademark Model 92, along with his initials and a banner with the words “Courage, Strength, Grit,” the core moralvalues he embodied.
John Wayne’s gold signature graces the short 18½" barrel. Wayne specified this barrel length on his personal guns to allow the rifle to be twirled by the large loop finger lever to cycle the action, instantly becoming his western trademark.
The left side of the receiver features a pair of portraits of Duke along with a banner reading “John Wayne American, 1907-2007.” A polished saddle ring lets the world know this classic rifle is ready to saddle up and ride the high range.
