Yeah, but replicas are relatively speaking, cheaper than ever. They could have bought a Italian replica l873 rifle and replica SSA for $2,500, tops.

Anyone seen this movie? Is it worth watching? Yes. I liked it a lot, despite the modern Winchester 94 he used in it, and the brass framed Colt SAA. Their firearms consultant should have been fired. I too look for those things subconsciously expecting to find them. If Hollywood ever creates a true-to-time-period movie, I swear I will miss the whole plot because I will, increasingly, search for the mistakes I just know are there.

But this is generally not how a production company working on a lower budget works. The big guys will spend lots of money on props and such. Then they usually have a big auction after the rap and try to sell stuff. Which is usually successful. Like I said the BIG guys do this. But it is cheaper for the Smaller fish to rent a gun for maybe $150 a day for two or three days of filming than it is to buy a $1000 rifle. That’s just the way they work. Bean counters.

Good flick.The shootout at the end was probably more realistic then most you see.
Its all right to be white!!

Yeah TRH recommended it here a while back and I took his suggestion it’s an excellent movie Ditto. EE was looking forward to it coming out about a month before it did, but he never got a chance to watch it. He and I talked about it extensively before it aired.
