This is a remake of the 1971 movie starring Lee Marvin as Monte Walsh. It aired on the TNT Network. Despite the presence of firearms and gunfights this is actually a melancholy story about the end of the open range cattle days in Montana in the 1890's.
The following firearms can be seen in Monte Walsh (2002):
Revolvers
SAA
The Single Action Army is carried and used by multiple characters. But the most memorable use is by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) and Shorty (George Eads).The actual Colt SAA (serial number # 4562, Mfd. 1874) used by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) was manufactured at the beginning of the model's manufacturing history.This specimen was restored by Kenny Howell of R&D Gun Shop.
Colt 1877 "Lightning"
What appears to be a Colt 1877 "Lightning" Double Action Revolver is seen several times in Chet's (Keith Carradine) holster. The Colt 1877 had a distinctive "Birds Head" grip and that's what I am using for identification.
Remington 1875
A Remington 1875 is used by a Marshal who attempts to arrest one of Shorty's (George Eads) partners.
Shotgun
Winchester 1887
The Winchester Model 1887 is used by Shorty (George Eads) throughout the movie. He carries a shorter version with the 22" barrel.This version was available from Winchester and was usually called the "Messenger" or "Guard" Model. A very imposing weapon indeed.
Rifles
Winchester 1886
Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) uses a Winchester Model 1886 Carbine throughout the movie. The Winchester used in the movie was manufactured in 1891. It has a 22 inch barrel and is chambered in caliber 50-110. It was restored by Kenny Howell of R&D Gun Shop. Kenny Howell also did restoration work on some of the firearms used in Crossfire Trail.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Chet Rollins (Keith Carradine) carries a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy". It is only seen briefly out of it's saddle scabbard in a couple shots.
Winchester 1873
Throughout the movie one can get brief glimpses of the Winchester Model 1873 being carried by other cowboys.
