Drinking my coffee this morning I am watching Rio Conchos with Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman and Tony Franciosa. A good old western, Richard Boone sure makes a good tough guy.

What kind of rifle does Whitman have without full length magazine?

This movie is interseting because for once they aren't using 1892 Winchesters which wouldn't have been invented yet. They use 1873 rifles with half magazines and round barrels. Very unusual. Just like Paul Nueman in Hombre. But the thing is Rio Conchos was set in the 1860's! Close enough. This woman is in Rio Conchos breifly, partying with Tony Franciosa. Here she is in The Professionals. My favorite screensaver.

I picked up on the rifle/Hombre connection right away. I've always liked that style. I haven't seen Rio Concho in years, but when I saw that lever gun I thought "I wonder if thats the same (actually) rifle Newman used in Hobre", since it's all Hollywood. Big hole in the end looks like .45-70. I had a Marlin .45-70 with a short magazine. Quite impressive. Thanks for reply.

I've seen the same rented Sharps in Valdez Is Coming, The Tracker with Kris Kristfferson, young Guns, and another one I can't remember. It has to be a real Sharps if Burt Lancaster used it in 1971.

I always wondered how women would fare wearing a bandolier. What if she had to wear longer cartridges in it?
Those must be for a .44 Winchester or something similar.
I'd have preferred Raquel Welch in that role, but I sort of see what you guys like about her. Have to be awfully myopic not to determine that!

The female Mexican Bandit was using a Colt New Service .45
