G-MAN Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I always enjoy movies where interesting firearms are prominently featured. For 5 points name the movie these three rifles were featured in. For a bonus name each rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know the bottom two rifles are classic "big game" rifles used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Africa and India. So that's where you start.

G-MAN Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 The Ghost and the Darkness?LEE Speed SporterFarquharsonHolland & Holland We have a winner!The guns in the photo are not the actual guns used in the movie, BTW.I'm still doing some research to find out who made the Farquharson in the movie. I think I've narrowed it down to either Gibbs or Jeffery.I'm still curious about the round the Farquharson in the movie was chambered in. Judging from the cartridges in Val Kilmer's belt, and if the gun and cartridges are period correct (1898), I'd say it's a 450/400 Nitro Express 3-1/4". The 450/400 NE 3-1/4" is second from the left. The 450/400 NE 3" is first on the left, but was not introduced until 1902. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
