That is NOT a flintlock pistol. No frizzen, No pan, no flint. That is a fictional gun created by chopping down a Trapdoor Springfield Carbine's action. They remove the metal plate behind the hammer and chopped the entire assembly just before the chamber and bored it out to make it look like a .60 cal or greater ball. But it's a fictional gun. No one ever chopped down a .45-70 long gun into a pistol like that as far as I know.

*Interesting. I just assumed it was a flintlock. Forgive me for not quite noticing the absence of the frizzen, pan or flint. Whatever those are. As to nobody ever chopping down a rifle into a pistol... uh, clearly the filmmakers did, and in the film's fictional universe, so did the characters. I'm unsure why they didn't just use a period-accurate pistol, and wonder why they went through the trouble of chopping and converting an existing rifle into pistol form. It still fires onscreen, but that could be flashpaper or some other kind of special effect. [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]] ([[User talk:Kooshmeister|talk]]) 14:51, 9 September 2012 (EDT) | |||

That is NOT a flintlock pistol. No frizzen, No pan, no flint. That is a fictional gun created by chopping down a Trapdoor Springfield Carbine's action. They remove the metal plate behind the hammer and chopped the entire assembly just before the chamber and bored it out to make it look like a .60 cal or greater ball. But it's a fictional gun. No one ever chopped down a .45-70 long gun into a pistol like that as far as I know. MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 01:05, 9 September 2012 (EDT)
