stepnmud#33546 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 On Stumpy's gun and Walter Brennan in his best opinion, remarks that No! he don't want no work done on his pistol. now just what kind of action job would this be? something a gunfighter might do? making the firing pin hit more easily or just total movie fabrication?

Shooting Bull Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yer both full of beans. According to the authorities right here on this very site, all shooters in the old west used 100% bone stock guns. No filing of ANY kind would be tollerated. (Pot stirring accomplished. Philly Slim out. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepnmud#33546 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 OK, I pulled this from the movie script. http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts...ript-hawks.html Before I forget, your gun's a little stiff. You mind if I file the action a bit? "I don't want you to file no action on my gun. I don't want no easy pull. I might shoot myself. Get somebody else's. Why don't you give him his own guns? -I forgot all about them. -Your memory is no better than mine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairshake Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 That was a good movie and I quit counting the times I have watched it in my 63 years. Most westerns have the hero seeking out a good Gunsmith such as Eastwood, Wayne, and others. I always thought that was good to include so that the average shooter would not mess up his gun with one too many file strokes. As my instructors at S&W and other armorer schools always say; you may always take more off but you can never put any back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Watch "The Quick and The Dead" when Gene Hackman files on his pistols at night before the big gunfight . Does that scene bother anyone else? I won't even CLEAN my guns immediately before a big match - much less do any action work to them. And he's just sitting there filing away the night before a life or death gunfight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Hearts Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It probably didn't bother him, because unlike Creeker, he could actually draw, fire, and HIT his intended target! Heheheheheheheheheheh ....... Giggle giggle.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas, Yellowboy Well, they tried to put Sharon Stane and a western script together and it didn't work out either. Ann Margaret coudn't have saved that script. I would have watched it, but it would have been painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
