I got this info off of a other forum I posted on about the Monte Walsh movie. A member replied that Selleck had 2 of the 1887 shotguns and 2 1886 SRC in 50/ 110 restored for the move at a cost of $30,000 bucks out of his own pocket to keep the movie historically accurate. I can see that as Selleck is a gun lover like the rest of us and can afford to have the restoration done. Jim

No, read it again. He said he spent $30,000 on the movie, not just on 4 guns. He bought saddles, could have bought plenty of other stuff for other cast members. He does put some money into all of these movies, not just on his character.

Yea I know I found that out after I read it I was going on what the other forum had said before I read the article. I thought it was cool that he used a WI gunsmith to do the work as I am from WI :lol: Jim

Well, if you are as good at what you do as he is at what he does, you can work for me any time. I'd didn't realize what a bigshot he was until I got around these cowboy gun sites. Seems like a nice guy from what I hear, too.
