G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 3 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Looks like a '76 Winchester musket. Very similar to the one Tom Selleck used in "Crossfire Trail". -- GIT Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 28,278 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks, GI. What's throwing me is the fore end. Link to post Share on other sites
EE Taft 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yup, 76 musket The one in Crossfire trail is a twin to it. I never noticed the long forend until someone pointed it out to me (on the movie). Cimarron offers one called the Crossfire or also refered to as the NWMP (North West Mounted Police) Very cool gun! I've shot one once......been wanting one ever since! ~EE Taft~ Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzly Dave 962 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 OK folks, I vote a 76 as well, even before seeing that you all agreed with me. Besides Crossfire trail, what other movie has a 76 in it? Not a western per se, well, kinda, it does have cowboys, Indians, horses, but it is set in modern times. Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzly Dave 962 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 OK, I'll give you a HUGE hint to maybe jog your bullet soaked memory... At the beginning of the movie, the sheriff hires his former son in law to track and pursue escaped convicts in to the wilderness. Link to post Share on other sites
Grizzly Dave 962 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 another hint, maybe half way or better thru the movie, there is a great chase scene where the cowboy is on horseback being chased thru town by cops in squad cars. Link to post Share on other sites

EE Taft 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I believe it was the sheriff in Last of the Dogmen that used the 76..........I could be wrong though......Been a while. .......Dang it, now I'm gonna have to go out and find a copy of that! ~EE Taft~ Link to post Share on other sites

The sheriff has a 76. I am going to have to take both of your words for it , I spent 2 hours looking for it this morning in our DVD collection and couldn't find it.

The really odd thing is that they could make it 100% factual and most people would say it was all fiction. Y'know, Joe's got a good point. They made a movie about Belle Starr years ago, starring Elizabeth Montgomery, but, if I remember, I wasn't too impressed with its credibility. There were a bunch of tough ol' gals out there that could hold their own, e.g. Calamity Jane, Charley Parkhurst, Pearl Hart, and others. Of course, none of these ladies was the type that you would want to bring home to meet Mother. Still, their stories would make some good movie plots. Link to post Share on other sites
