Nevada Smith's Rifle....

Post by Blaine »

I got around to watching Nevada Smith last night....what an interesting rifle. Side x Side exposed hammers with an over/under barrel configuration. Swivel breech?? A Schutzen, no doubt. Marlinman 93 would know all about it.

There's some info, including not very clear photos, at Reply #13 by 22LR here: https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index ... ic=13934.0

"Over/Under combination rifle-shotgun, by “F.WEISS PORT JERVIS N.Y.” and so marked on .44 cal. rifle barrel which now appears smooth at the muzzle, both barrels are faceted at the breech for 9” then turn round, the rifle barrel with a large, added ramp sight and an adjustable rear sight. The walnut stock, with checkered wrist, mounted in German silver, backaction locks with very graceful hammers. A well-crafted piece. Used by actor Steve McQueen in “Nevada Smith” (Paramount 1966), “S318”. Est.: $5,000-$10,000."
