Hint; They are bolt actions and have a external hammer, and one was used in the movie Cross Fire Trail.....(I think..maybe???? Boltman????)

You're on the right trail Gene. Also, the calibers have to be guessed - they are not the same.

One has to be 45-70, the only caliber I remember hearing about, the other might be .43 spanish or I have seen what I thought was a misprint 60-40 (s/b 40-60 maybe??)

Remington-Keene Repeating Rifle, .45-70-405. My next guess before the hint was going to be burton-keene so I was getting close. My keene guess came from this ... keene pantent

Gene - you're a real ringer. Yes, one is .45/70. And yes, some were made in .40/60. Not many. But the other one is not a .40/60, it is marked .433 - it is a .43 Spanish. I have fired them both. These are nice big bore repeaters. Lots of firepower and hold plenty of shells. Here's a couple more pictures:

Gene - you're a real ringer. Yes, one is .45/70. Not really, I just accidently stumbled onto this info when trying to find out if any of these were ever made in 22 short! - they weren't, so that's why I don't have one.

Ok - here's a scenario for you: you are being sent into a very remote wilderness region with minimal supplies. You are by yourself and you have to live off the land. You may be out in the wilderness for many years. You can bring one rifle from your existing collection. It must be a centerfire rifle. The only other caveat is that you can load the rifle but the only ammo you can bring is what fits in the rifle. So, no extra ammo. And, you will not be able to acquire any additional ammo while you out on this long adventure. So - what rifle would you project Boltman would bring? What would you bring? By the way, as this is an O.T. thread, it doesn't have to be a Savage, but it could be.

That looks like a second model with the 'sliding' hammer/stricker and not the 'swinging' one? I have a list of patents that I will be adding that would be even better! A single shot with this stock would work - stockAny gun that this magazine fits - Magazineor one this stock could be added to - stock with magazine Now if that double barreled '99' double 99 could be fitted with this stock to feed the rifle side and the other side were .410 fed by the above magazine - you may never have to reload! or any of these if they ever had been made- 1 2 3 4 5

Steve; If you look real close at your Evans action as it closes and watch how it locks up and then look at a Browning designed Winchester 1887/1901 lever action shotgun you will realize that John Browning did get ideas from other designers, it would seem unlike to me that he would never have seen an Evans.
