I still own my grandfather’s pump-action Winchester, carried for decades in a scabbard behind his saddle as he rode the range where he ranched, in Wikieup, Ariz.

A pump-action Winchester? Possibly known in the real world as “lever action”? My guess is that his grandfather carried a lever action Winchester carbine in a scabbard behind his saddle which held 6-8 cartridges that would make it an “AK 47” in his circles although I’m sure that it could be retrofitted to hold “100 clips” of ammo by application of magic. I would suggest that he just sell it to me for $50 because it might hurt someone if left unattended.

His grandpap’s rifle could have been a Remington Model 14 pump rifle, popular a century ago; a young George S. Patton Jr. captured one during the Pershing expedition.

Anyway, this guys’s a jerk. Molon labe!

Yes, a pump-action Winchester. Winchester made some nice little slide-action .22 rifles up until the 1960s; the Model 1890, Model 61, Model 62. Good knocking-around guns. Very popular with shooting galleries.

Winchester made .22 pump action rifles.
I’m skeptical that his grandfather rode the range with nothing more than a .22 at hand.

This guy is the very definition of a “Fudd”, only “Sporting rifles” are acceptable, handguns are only for killing people, the RKBA is about duck hunting, etc.
