Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
Just for fun, If you could have any lever used in a movie, which one would it be?

That's easy enough. It would be Tom Selleck's 1886 50-110 SRC from the movie Monte Walsh.

I took a shine for that fancy lever the fella carried in the movie The Bear. I have no idea what it was.

The Shiloh Sharps Selleck had in "Quigley Down Under" or the Henry Robert DuVall used in "Lonesome Dove".

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
I would pick this one too for greatest movie rifle of all time --- it does technically have a lever, --- i just interpreted the OP's intention of lever guns being magazine fed lever guns.kimwcook wrote:The Shiloh Sharps Selleck had in "Quigley Down Under" or the Henry Robert DuVall used in "Lonesome Dove".
Tom Selleck really gets good representation in threads like these, too bad he's not a forum participant (Quigley, Monte Walsh, Crossfire Trail, Sabre River --- all awesome movies with heavy firearms emphasis)

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
My choice would be the old beat up 1892 short rifle that John Wayne used most of the time in "THE SEARCHERS". I would hope I could also have the beaded buckskin case he carried it in. I think "THE SEARCHERS" was Wayne's best Movie, plus I saw it with my mom and dad, now deceased, when it came out in 1955 or 1956.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
rangerider7,I reckon The Seachers has to be my all time favoite movie and that buckskin case made me make a deerskin case for my 1892 32wcf. I saw the movie in Gainesville Florida in 1956 when it came out. I was with my rifle team from Lake Worth Florida National Guard unit. We didn't win the match, but got to see a great movie.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
Not a lever, but Henry Fonda's Nickle plated 7 1/2' Colt SAA in Once Upon a Time in the West is probably my favorite movie gun of all time.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
I too liked "The Searchers". The only hang-up I have about it is that the movie was suppose to depict an event of the late 1860's and 1870's which would have eliminated the 1892 from being a true representation of guns available during those times.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
Modoc ED, I know what you mean, but I think I can count on my hands how many movies depicting the time period of right after the Civil War that are technically correct in their display of weapons. How many Henry's are brass plated 92s or 94s without the forearms. Wayne was notorious for the use of Colt SAA and 92s in his movies no matter what the time period depicted. I wish they could all be correct but few are.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
Not a "traditional lever", but I'd take the 1874 Sharps used by Tom Selleck in "Quigley Down Under". After that, Jimmie Stewart's "One of a Thousand" 1873 Winchester in the movie "Winchester '73". Or any of the 1892 "large loop" Winchesters used by John Wayne in his 60's westerns.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
I have to agree with you "rangerider7". The first thing I look for in a movie is enjoyment and if the guns used aren't exactly right for the time period of the movie it really isn't that critical to me. I only made the point I did as there are quite a few guys on this forum that "demand" realism of all props in the Westerns they watch.rangerider7 wrote:Modoc ED, I know what you mean, but I think I can count on my hands how many movies depicting the time period of right after the Civil War that are technically correct in their display of weapons.

Re: Which movie lever would you like in your collection?
Either Gus or Call's 1860 Henry repro in Lonseome Dove, or Ned's Spencer Carbine from "Unforgiven" would be neat conversation pieces!

One more for Monte Walsh's 1886 50-110. Tom Selleck is one of the few actors who owns and uses his own guns in his movies. I also liked the 45-60 carried by Steve McQueen in Tom Horn
