In Sept 2019 I restored a Krag and made a non invasive scope mount.
In Sept 2019 I sporterized a Krag to 25 Krag Ackley and painted my Bartlein barrel.
What scope mount do you have on that bottom krag? I have a sporterized one that I really like to hunt with but can't see well enough with the peep sights to use it anymore.
A lot of Boomer era TV and movies had such little attention to detail that they become almost unwatchable. Already mentioned but The Good The Bad and The Ugly is a prime example.
Unrelated to the OP but some might appreciate this sporterized Krag. A buddy of mine picked up recently and sent pics.
That is freakin sweet!!

Then there was "the good, the Bad, and the Ugly," with Clint Eastwood putting cartridges in muzzle loading revolvers.
Many black powder revolvers (NOT muzzle loaders) were converted to cartridge firing, very common, still available today on the replica market and in demand by Cowboy Action shooters.
Don't get me wrong, I have always very much enjoyed the G,B, & U movie, however as someone pointed out, Clint Eastwood's cartridge conversion Colt did not exist in that time period. Also, notice that Lee VanCleef has a percussion Remington which is period correct, but he carries it in a holster rig with loops holding metalic cartridges. Eli Wallock's Colt Navy is period correct, but he gets metalic cartridges from the storekeeper to load it with. And, to really get nit-picky, what's the deal with Eastwood firing the cannon with a fuse instead of a friction primer? If not a friction primer, a quill & linstock would have been accurate. Granted, neither method would have had quite the dramatic effect as lighting a fuse with a cigar.

yeah the History Channel has some Goofs on it I remember watching a show about the American Revolution one time and a British soldier had a bolt action rifle pretty comical
Bonanza was set from 1861 to 1871. The first episodes were just at the start of the Civil War. Pa, and Adam and the boys all carried 1873 Colts. No pesky powder horns or round balls for the Bonanza boys.
Lots of those History Channel shows are filmed in Eastern Europe and if you watch them closely, you’ll see all kinds of funky weapons being carried sometimes.
