Model 92 in the Navy?

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Watched Destination Tokyo with Cary Grant, 1944, 135 minutes, black and white.  Very good movie.  VERY good!

 

At one point three men are sent ashore near Tokyo on a recon mission.  They are armed with Winchester Model 92 carbines.  I had not hears of this before.  No action for these guns in the movie, but it makes some sense.

 

I'm just wondering if it's authentic.

Here is a link with weapons used in WW2 by the US. No mention of 1892’s but there were Winchester 1894’s and 1895’s as well as Marlin 1894’s used. Details in what they were used for are lacking.

This article talks about Winchester 1895’s but no others.

Can't remember where but I read some were made available to Great Britain. They were issued to Navy to do rat control in dock warehouses and ships. Used a shot cartridge.

They might have been 94s.  The pictures weren't too clear, but the loading gate looked to be way too short for a 94.
