1886 in "Rough Riders."
I'm watching the mini-series "Rough Riders" and I noticed that Sam Elliot's character (O'Neal) is carrying what looks like a big 1886 when he rides in to the train depot to join the Arizona Volunteers. Here's a shot of him with the gun on the train as it's pulling away and he's saying goodbye to his wife.

Yep, that's what it is. Side by side with a 92. Look close and the difference is obvious.

Awesome '86 with a beefy octagonal. Looking at the finish I have to suspect it's original as well. Very nice!

I absolutly LOVED that movie. I taped it for my library & have viewed it several times. Gary Busey was a real trip in it. I really enjoyed him, but everyone was great in it, including Retired Marine Captain Dale Dye, a Vietnam War, (I don't give a darn what anyone else calls it) combat veteran, who's been an advisor on several war movies & the Band of Brothers HBO cable series, as well as The Pacific HBO series. I'm not ashamed to admit that every time I see Sam get greased, I get all choked up, because of what I saw going on between him & his lovely wife as he left on that train to Destiny & Death. Long Live The RoughRiders! jd45

We have that movie on DVD an watch it regularly. Later on Bucky has a nice '95 carbine as well.

Definetly one of my favorite "Western" movies. The "Wind and the Lion" is another favorite.
Re: 1886 in "Rough Riders."
By the looks of it the gun has seen hard use and most likely was a studio rifle, one of many that they own and use for film work. In "Cheyenne Social Club" Jimmy Stewart carried a similar 1886, as did the character upstairs in the shootout between Jack Wilson(Palance) and Shane(Ladd) in the one of the most excellent westerns ever made, "Shane".

There is a EL '86 in there as well. Check out Hurst:)

I saw that. The character Frederick Remington had one too.RDB wrote:There is a EL '86 in there as well. Check out Hurst:)

Another note that struck me from this movie: Check out the battle scenes where some of our soldiers are shooting Krags and others 1895s. Watch how natural using a lever action is in a rapid fire standing combat situation versus a bolt action. (Of course, in a prone position the bolt action would be better.)
