Name that gun!

Recommended Posts

It’s a Colt and I think it’s 36 caliber.  I forget the model.

It is a Colt and was manufactured in a variety of calibers from .36 to .64. Maybe someone will come up with the model.

Yes, the Colt New Service Revolving Rifle. Bull carries one in the film So Dorado.

I can’t remember the model, but since levers are from 1885-1894 and the revolvers are 1850 or so, it would be model number from 1850 - about 1870.

I always thought the revolving rifles were cool. I remember it being bull's gun in El Dorado though.

You are correct, sir.

Not sure I follow you. Are you saying that lever action rifles began production in 1885?

Not really.  I was just thinking about the popular models out there. All I can come up with without cheating, or looking it up, was the model 1895 and model 1894.  I know back in the day, they would model number rifles and pistols after the year they were patented.
