Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite Old West Movie Firearms

I've long desired a cavalry trooper's Springfield trap-door carbine. Maybe some day.

The Gatling Gun from War Wagon.

Up kinda at the beginning of the Searchers, when they have the river fight with the locals, Mose Harper is using a Jenks .54 cal percussion Naval breech loading carbine.

Flintlocke, I. think that Remington Keene made the rounds. Sons of Katy Elder, El Dorado, and again in Joe Kidd! 😁😁😁😁 with and w/o scope.

I'll go ahead and show my Winchester 92. My next door neighbor is loading me up some .44-40 for it in exchange for some primers.

The pawn shop down the street from me has one, but it's a junker. Bore looks real dark.

I have one in good shape. Unfortunately it's a cut down rifle

Local shop had one like that about 20 years ago, for less than $4oo. Whoever modified it did a very convincing job. As happens to me so often, I 'slept' on it a bit too long.

One of the things that caught my eye when I first saw it was in the film The Long Riders. David Carradine was using a break action single-shot carbine, at the time I thought it might be one of a number breech loading carbines in use during the War of Secession and was impressed they would include it.

Turns out it was just a disguised H&R Topper but I’m still impressed they included it. A number of interesting guns in that movie....

The url won’t come up as a link so just Google on Long Riders guns.

IIRC, Richard Farnsworth used a Bisley in "The Grey Fox", and Lee Marvin had either a New Service or an Colt's Army Special in "The Professionals".

In "Ride the High Country" bad guy Warren Oates was armed with a Model 8 Remington rifle.

Bisley Colt - The Grey Fox. A really good movie if you can find it somewhere. It starred Richard Farnsworth, not a very big name but recognizable from a lot of supporting roles, mostly westerns.

I saw something with a Colt New Service in it recently but can't recall what it was.

Oop! Looks like I was a couple of posts too late.

I love all the old guns from the westerns! I just bought a Colt Bisley in 38-40, made in 1911 should have it next week. hope to add a rifle in 38-40, one day also.

Dad had a couple of 8's in 35Rem over the years and I got to shoot them a bit. Between being semi-auto, reasonably heavy, and a fairly small case they were a blast to shoot, very little recoil. I know my desire always lasted longer than the ammo........

All used in The Wild Bunch. Not really an "Old West" movie ,but close enough.

Drover and 3040Krag,

YES! Grey Fox is a favorite of mine, haven't seen it in 10 years or more. I can't believe I forgot that.

I will have to change that soon.

There was something floating around the internet that the pistol in the movie MIGHT have been Miner's actual pistol

not sure how they would know.

nice. with a model 92, what a sweet pair that would be.

ouch! make mine a shotgun butt with a pachmayr decelerator.

That's freaking sweet right there.

Paul Newman's long gun in Hombre was an 1873 Winchester with a half-magazine. Either a 44-40 or 38-40.
