As to the era between WWI & WWII, I believe it would be a real mishmash of 1892 Winchesters, 310 cadets & God only know what else! Most probably the common 12 gauge shotgun would have been the most common overall; the humble rabbit 'underground mutton' fed a lot of folks during the depression years.
Yes I forgot there were a fair number of lever actions in such cartridges such as .44/40, .32/20 etc. Out bush, cowboys! I remember reading about water buffalo hide hunters using them on water buffalo from the back of a horse. The .44 that is.
Of course the .22 rimfire was everywhere, and every farm had one, and probably a shotgun of some sort.
