Let me clarify "Made"..... I bought a replica of a 1892 Winchester, with the extra wide lever handle. I modified this full sized rifle into the shortened version you see in the pic's. I had to recreate a bracket using PVC, and Use alot of Epoxy to hold a few parts together once I cut through them and trimmed them down.
Thank you though for the kind words... It was an unsure project as I did not know if it would work until I had put the saw to the metal and wood and was able to look at what was "underneath" those parts. A few minor modifications required and then putting it back together and hope it held. So far it is holding up well.
Hog's Leg was the orginal name for it. It became later known as the "Mare's Leg" because Steve McQueen called his gun that, saying it hasd less kick than a Hog's Leg.

Hell, if people are fanboy enough, they'll buy it! If I'd have thought about it sooner, I'd have made Jayne hats, lol...

Greg said the proper name for the gun type Zoe has is a "Hog's Leg" as he put it. I don't care what it's called, it still looks great to me. :)
Merry Christmas, Artie! :D
