Bailey Creek,5759 60 Posted April 9 I was watching a Western that came out in 1953. War Arrow it starred Jeff Chandler, Maureen O'Hara. What cot my attention they were using 1860 Henrys. There was also 92 Winchesters with the forearm removed. Nice to see the Henry take center stage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Rider SASS#32091 15 Posted April 10 It is good to see the Henry’s in those older movies. I see the 92’s with the forearm removed in quite a few of the oldies. I guess they are trying to make them look like a Henry. One of the blessings (or curses) of playing this game is knowing the firearms. It always bothers me when the movie is set in the 1870’s etc in the old west and they all use 92 Winchester’s . I watched “The Searchers “ again the other night which is set a few years after the civil war and there are the 92’s and 1873 colts. I have learned to live with it.

Navy Davey 62 Posted April 10 A good series with 1860 Henry's is "Godsend" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bailey Creek,5759 60 Posted April 10 One scene they open a crate and start handing them out. Never saw that many original 1860 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Three Foot Johnson 1,828 Posted April 10 (edited) The 1950 movie, Broken Arrow, starring Jimmy Stewart, was supposedly set in the late 1870's. Central to the plot is a war between whites and Cochise's band in the southwest. There are some glaring problems with this - for instance, Cochise died in 1874. Another is evident in this still from the movie. Edited April 10 by Three Foot Johnson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L 330 Posted April 10 (edited) Watched Badland last night, pretty good movie, Spencer and 1860 Henry featured rifles. It's on Netflix, has Bruce Dern as a character and Wes Studi. Edited April 10 by Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mack Hacker, #60477 49 Posted April 11 My new pet peeve is all the pistol caliber rifles carried by cowboys with bandolier full of rounds that would never cycle through the action. Worst of all is War Wagon 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
