The the front part of the wooden foregrip was removed, and a fake tubular magazine was mounted. The rifle is also equipped with a historically correct brass telescopic scope. The exact model is ID'd by the shape of the bolt shroud, which is the Mauser Model 1893 style, and the unique safety lug on the receiver tang behind the bolt handle of the Model 1895 can be clearly distinguished. The presence of a thumb cut in the receiver wall most likely makes this a Serbian Model 1899.

In any case, this is an unusual choice. Remington-Keene existed in 1878, but production did not begin until 1880, and even then it was a rare weapon (actually, therefore, in the movie uses a fake version). A more accurate choice for the early high-capacity bolt-action rifle would be a [[Vetterli Rifle|Vetterli]]. This is probably should have shown, that a Anwar-Efendi is an truly elite agent with access to exclusive weapons.

The Turkish Gambit (Russian: Турецкий гамбит; Turetskiy gambit) is a 2005 Russian/ Bulgarian war triller/detective, based on the novel of the same name by Boris Akunin. Famous Russian detective Erast Petrovich Fandorin tries to expose an enemy spy during the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. The Turkish Gambit (Turetskiy gambit) is the second film about the adventures of Erast Fandorin. It was preceded by Azazel (2002) and followed The State Counsellor (2005). In all three movies Fandorin is played by different actors.

PS1: Nearly all firearms in this film are heavily anachronistic.

The following weapons were used in the film The Turkish Gambit (Turetskiy gambit):


Revolvers

Webley .455 Mk VI

Anwar-Efendi/Captain Perepyolkin (Aleksandr Lykov) uses a Webley .455 Mk VI during the scene on the bridge. Erast Petrovich Fandorin (Egor Beroev) briefly holds a similar revolver one moment. This revolver is anachronism when the story takes place; probably Mk VI stands in for the early Webley models, such as Webley-Pryse.

ZKR 551

A ZKR 551 revolvers appears in several scenes, evidently standing in for the similar Colt Single Action Army. Erast Petrovich Fandorin (Egor Beroev) fires a ZKR 551 revolver during the firefight in the mountains. Zurov (Dmitriy Pevtsov) briefly holds one during the training, and, later, during the preparing for duel, when he hands it to secondants - D'Hevrais (Didier Bienaimé) and McLaughlin (Daniel Olbrychski). Anwar-Efendi/Captain Perepyolkin (Aleksandr Lykov) also uses the ZKR 551 throughout the movie.

Winchester Model 1894

Erast Petrovich Fandorin (Egor Beroev) fires a Winchester Model 1894 rifle at the film beginning scene, set in 1876. This is a another anachronistic weapon, but it can stand for the Model 1873.

Berdan Rifle

In the beggining scene, Serbian soldiers and volunteers (including a Fandorin) carries the Berdan Rifles. It is also the main rifle of the Russian army in the film. Erast Petrovich Fandorin (Egor Beroev) briefly holds a few of it. For some reasons, it's the only Russian long firearm in this movie.

Serbian Mauser M1899 (Mocked up as Remington-Keene)

Anwar-Efendi/Captain Perepyolkin (Aleksandr Lykov) uses during the firefight in the mountains the Serbian Mauser M1899, mocked up as a Remington-Keene Repeating Rifle in carbine configuration. The front part of the wooden foregrip was removed, and a fake tubular magazine was mounted. The rifle is also equipped with a historically correct long brass telescopic scope. The exact model is ID'd by the shape of the bolt shroud, which is the Mauser Model 1893 style, and the unique safety lug on the receiver tang behind the bolt handle of the Model 1895 can be clearly distinguished. The presence of a thumb cut in the receiver wall most likely makes this a Serbian Model 1899. This gun also seems to be a carbine, converted from a full-size rifle in the 1920s (note the straight bolt handle).

In any case, this is an unusual choice. Remington-Keene existed in 1878, but production did not begin until 1880, and even then it was a rare weapon (actually, therefore, in the movie uses a fake version). A more accurate choice for the early high-capacity bolt-action rifle would be a Vetterli. This is probably should have shown, that a Anwar-Efendi is an truly elite agent with access to exclusive weapons.
