I look for Marlins in westerns and see only Winchesters. I saw some nice ones the other day with the octagon rear & round front barrels. I can't stand to see em throw em down like they do & sometimes ride off and leave em. I know, it's a TV show, but it still hurts! :bawling:

 

I have saw a lot of the old westerns lately with colt peace makers with no front sight. in Hogan's heroes sergeant Schultz (john banner) carried a U.S. krag not a K98 it was reported that he was he lost a lot of his family to the holocaust in WW2 and would not play the part with a German gun,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

I Know Nothing!
I See Nothing!
I Hear Nothing!

 

Did you ever see the old Lone Ranger show where the bad guys were selling Enfield rifles to the Indians ?

 

What about the Union soldiers in Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL , shooting Trapdoor Springfields?

 

the movies and TV shows have done a lot better with authenticity of weapons now than they did in the past. but check out the car in the background gunsmoke!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Looked like a DeLorean

 

Winchester profited by their rifles in movies. They were probably not as popular in the times the movie was supposedly taking place.
Its sorta like Jose Cuervo Tequila with so many songs written about it they can charge a higher price because of the popularity created by those songs when in fact Jose Cuervo it not a very good Tequila at all. If you did a shooter side by side with a decent 100% Agave you can tell the difference. You can get good Tequila for about the same price as Jose. But we have those songs

 

Looked like a DeLorean

I guess they got a new Flux Capacitor.

Lots of mistakes in movies. I was looking at the Bonnie and Clyde's Hideout a Bonnie and Clyde site and looking at the movie pages and there are newer model cars and window AC units in the background. Supposedly in the John Wayne movie of the Alamo there is a jeep inn the picture by the Alamo. And I believe contrails from a plane flying overhead.

I like when you see like a car window or a plate glass window in a store and you can see a reflection of the movie crew filming the movie.

I have spotted a few marlins but not as many as the winchesters.

 

Take a look at this left handed Winchester. The movie started out with him levering right handed going into a curve, coming out he was lefty.

 

Big Valley was mostly Texans. Though I think one of the ladies had a Marauder with 16 inch bbl.

 

IIRC at the end of Hang Em High the Captain used a Marlin. But that’s going on my shakey memory.

 

There is an episode of the Virginian where a 60s Model Chevy pickup is sitting in front of the ranch house. During the closing scene.
