When Butch and Sundance were killed in 1908, among their effects was found a “Modified Winchester.”
This term has caused some confusion amongst historians, and I once asked a Gun Nut friend about it who told me the term simply meant an early Winchester that used smokeless ammunition.
I wasn’t able to verify that anywhere and was wondering if anyone here can verify that term existed in the nomenclature of the time for a Winchester using smokeless ammo.
Has anyone heard of the term in that context?
Thanks for any help. Some people here may be able to settle one issue we’ve been a bit puzzled over.
