Close, but there is no forearm band on Clints rifle....I'm sticking with my original suggestion.

Spencer Sporting Rifle

Nope!  Check out the movie reference link: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Good%2C_The_Bad%2C_and_The_Ugly%2C_The

The Spencer you identify does not have a ladder elevated sight.  The gun Eastwood has in the picture does not have a metal attachment ring on the barrel handguard.  As noted before the guns used in the film are not all period authentic.  All the guns in this film were supplied by Aldo Uberti Inc. of Italy.

Next time I'm in Carmel, I'll stop by Clints place and ask him!

Sometimes you see him playing Pebble as well!  Great guy, too bad he never made anything of himself!

 ;D

Gran Torino is a great flick, see it for some WWII pieces...

That's an AWSOME site!  Thanks for the link.  I spent a while looking at all the cool pic's and info.  Dirt bag as he was, you HAD to like Tuco a little.  :)

I thought that was a gun.  ;D  It looks like a Sharps to me.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Some smart donkey beat me to it.  It's bigger than a pistol and smaller that a howitzer...
The person who has nothing for which his is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
