"Streets of Laredo" movie.....
« on: September 12, 2004, 09:05:52 AM »
Watched the movie last night and the young Mexican serial killer is using a Schmitt-Rubin Straight-Pull.  Did anyone else notice this?

Apparently took it off the older German/Swiss man that he was in a "cactus-shooting contest" with.......

Yep, I saw it right off. Seeing as I'm a Smidt-Rubin fan. In the book the auther refers to it as a "German Rifle". He probably ment an early Mauser. I would hazzard a guess that the producers of the movie thought the staight pull looked more exotic and wouldn't be recognized.

Hey, just because those movie producers don't know about guns, they shouldn't assume that we don't!  44 Man
