Mare’s Leg replica rifle Fans of the old Western series, “Wanted Dead or Alive” will instantly recognize the Mare’s Leg replica rifle as a fine weapon that was a huge part in Western history. What set the Mare’s leg apart from other rifles was the barrel, which had been sawed off, making it considerably shorter than the standard model. The sawed off design allowed the rider to draw the rifle from their saddle holster faster. The difference those couple of seconds made often was the difference between life and death.
This version of the Mare’s Leg replica rifle is authentic as they come. The sawed off rifle even has a receiver ring which was used to fasten the Mare’s leg to a cowboy’s saddle. The shoulder stock has been cut down, as has the barrel, making it a mere 10” long. The Mare’s Leg replica rifle has a metal butt plate and barrel ring and the fore-stock is crafted out of wood. While the Mare’s Leg replica rifle is non-firing, it does feature working lever action. A great addition to your own Western rifles replica collection.
