	At the beginning of the film, Nathan Algren ([[Tom Cruise]]) shows off and fires a Trapper model of the [[Winchester Model 1873]] at a trade show. His Winchester is fitted with a large lever loop and Algren states it is a '73 trapper, which could hold 6 + 1 in the chamber. Algren is seen using the large lever loop to do a one-handed reload of the rifle, a move often seen performed by [[John Wayne]] in several of his Westerns. After having enough of the demonstration Nathan tosses the "Trapper" Model to the Winchester Rep McCabe ([[William Atherton]]).
