This is the rifle Sterling Hayden used in the 1956 Alamo film “The Last Command”. Notice the exaggerated roman nose butt on it ”¦ 36 cal if I remember correctly ”¦ it too is a beauty! :hmm: :hatsoff:

Forgive my ignorance...is this an original, or was it made for the movie? I was surprised by the depth of the rifling that's visible in the muzzle picture. Is rifling that deep common?
 
As far as I know its an original. The Hacker Martin rifle pictured elsewhere is a repro made many years ago though. :thumbsup:

It is just a fancy crown. A star burst I think it’s called.

So the rifling's not that deep all the way to the breech?
