A good movie with REMINGTONS in it !

If I recall correctly, the carpet on the stairs (if there was one) was red, and it was a hardwood floor that the yankee was dragged across. Another thing was the yankee was suppose to have deserted so it is possible that even if the yankee army was looking for him, they probably would not have supposed him dead. The war, I believe had just ended or perhaps it still had some time to run. In any case if it were still going on the yankees wern't too concerned with deserters and if the war had ended, the yankees just wanted to go home at that time and weren't too eager to be chasing down deserters IMO. Also the yankees really didn't care what happened to Confederates or their women at this period of time.
as for the revolver used in that scene It could have been a Le Matt for all I know!

Hellgate:
It is a NMA fer sure.  And the Yank bled all over the hardwood floor.  Scarlett used Melanie's nightgown to wrap his head in so he would not leave a trail like a bloody snail!

Dusty, I stand corrected. Practical women they had in those days!

Watched the rerun of a good ole long movie called How The West Was Won ..it was on AMC the other day ...when they were in the period of the early 1870`s an Army Scout was makeing peace with an Indian Cheif and he took his 1858  Remington NMA out of hoster in front of the Chief  ..and took the conversion cylinder out of it , took the back plate off and dumped the bullets on the ground between them then replaced the back plate and put her back together ..the Chief then took out an arrow and broke it in half ..as a symbol of peace .

I took a look at my VHS copy of HTWWW just to make sure, and the actor was.....ta da.....George Peppard.  Henry Fonda was the scout that introduced Peppard to the Chief.

Just watched Water Hole No. 3.

There is a great shoot out at "Lavinias."  James Coburn and Carroll O'Conner are blasting away at Claude Akins with double barrels.
And He's returning fire with a Remington.  Lots of shooting and reloading the shotguns, with lots of destruction without any casualites.

[O'Conner's sidearm is a Colt Bisley.]

Good excuse to watch it again and check out the firearms. . .

I thought Eastwood was the only actor that could handle that on the big screen ...but this is a much older movie ..and I can remember the actors name ..this movie is over 3 hrs long ..it starts in a setting around 1830 and works forward .

I think the Scout was played by either Henry Fonda or Brian Keith.
