Re: What is the quintessential American firearm?

From my uneducated and un-informed view point, when starting this thread I was thinking of:

- the Colt six-shooter;

- the Henry lever action;

- the 12 gauge double barrelled coach gun.

But my opinion may be formed by watching too many Westerns.

In more modern times, I would include the Colt .45 Gov't Auto and the pre-64 Winchester Model 70 as well. And the Winchester M94 lever action as well.

Unfortunately the Colt .45 Autos are lost to us in Australia now as gov't has decreed that such large calibre pistols are inherently evil.

The lever action seems to be uniquely an American rifle and not as much used elsewhere. Is that correct or not? I think that question is worth a new thread.
