::Yeah, it looks like they, as usual, use a lot of denix stuff but the carbine in the movie looks different.

I've searched a lot and didn't manage to find a carbine with that particular clamp but If anyone wants to search more I recommend to look for Russian or Austrian flintlock carbines as the Russians copied French designs and the clamp might hint Austrian though Austrian carbines appear to be of entirely different design. --[[User:Nanomat|Nanomat]] ([[User talk:Nanomat|talk]]) 13:21, 19 January 2020 (EST)

The cavalry carbine seems to be a Denix replica (such carbine can be seen here together with other Denix Napoleonic era guns). Maybe some other guns in the movie are also Denix replicas (see catalogue for 16th-19th century guns). --Greg-Z (talk) 12:22, 19 January 2020 (EST)

Yeah, it looks like they, as usual, use a lot of denix stuff but the carbine in the movie looks different. The movie one has s shorter wooden handguard, different trigger guard and lacks a barrel hoop in the middle and its barrel clamp lacks an opening for a ramrod, this makes is similar to the Austrian pistol clamp. While the denix carbine has s longer handguard, has a barrel hoop and an opening for a ramrod on the clamp. I've searched a lot and didn't manage to find a carbine with that particular clamp but If anyone wants to search more I recommend to look for Russian or Austrian flintlock carbines as the Russians copied French designs and the clamp might hint Austrian though Austrian carbines appear to be of entirely different design. --Nanomat (talk) 13:21, 19 January 2020 (EST)
