Speaking of movies and firearms, anyone ever noticed the 1892/94 SRC in Full Metal Jacket?
Nope, will keep my eyes peeled. Can you give me a hint?

Its the scene when they are rallying to take the city with “Cowboy”.

I like the scene in Unforgiven when they were forming the posse to go after Clint and friends. One of the guys was complaining about not getting any 30-30’s. Movie was supposed to be in 1881.
My favorite of all-time is Dances with Wolves in the dramatic scene where Kostner is shooting at the buffalo with his Henry rifle, and if thats not bad enough, his Henry has no cartridges in it. In terms of original Henry’s, think the one in “The Man from Laramie” is the real deal perhaps.

This is worth watching – fits the theme of this thread. Plenty of Mare’s legs too:

I’ll have to watch that scene again.. The Henry could be of the period but I’ll have to look at where the follower is. I believe that the arrows would be more powerful than the 44 RF. But a Buffalo hit in the lungs will go down fairly easily.

Chuck, its the scene where the wounded buffalo is charging the younger kid. I recall his rifle being empty but firing because the follower is at the receiver while he is shooting. But on the stampede preceding the wounded buffalo charge scene, it looks like the follower is about 2/3 the way down the mag tube. Also, in DWW, they got the peaceful vs. friendly Indian tribe roles a bit wrong and reversed. Still a good movie though.

Best I can tell, Chris, they got the guns right more than they did the Indians. I noticed the magazine follower error before I knew much about the Henry, seems to be a common error if you watch for it.

I am always looking for original guns that are correct (or as close to) the time period portrayed in the TV show or movie. Actually there are several on my list. Original Henry rifles being used in “Union Pacific” with Joey McCrea 1939. Movie takes place in 1868. Also used in the earliest “Bonanza” TV shows.
Original 1876 Winchester carbines used in “North West Mounted Police” with Gary Cooper, 1940. Movies takes place in 1885. There was at least one, maybe two original “long forend” 1886 carbines in this movie also.

Im not a Volcanic afficionado, but the one in “For a Few Dollars More” looks to be original. Also in that movie there is a guy with a short carbine stuck through his belt loop in the El Indio prison breakout.
