Trivia: The movie was filmed in Mexico that purchased in 1920s about 5,000 Mosin Nagants, produced by New England Westinghouse and Remington under Russian contract and not delivered to Russia due to Russian revolution 1917. In 1920s-1930s Mexican Mosin Nagant rifles were mostly used by various paramilitary organisations, and in 1936-1937 a number of these guns were delivered to Spanish Republicans, but some rifles, as we can see, remained in Mexico until 1980s.
