G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks, GI. What's throwing me is the fore end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Taft 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave 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.

Grizzly Dave 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Somebody get busy and write a movie script featuring her and Calamity Jane.

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Heck, why bring CJ into it? These women each deserve their own movies. Be too much for one. 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.
