Just to put some Patadas inna soup ....... You are all aware, yes, In the lead up to the 1866, Winchester actually built several "Transitional" rifles with EXACTLY the same look as the rifle in Glovers hands.  Side loader, round separated magazine, dovetailed magazine hanger, the whole enchilada.  No reason an individual couldn't have acquired one of those prototypes.

There were two in Silvberado.  One was an 1866 without a handguard, and one was a 1860 Henry.  You see them both in the scene where Danny Glover picks up one in each hand.

I guess next time I watch the movie I"ll have to pay closer attention.

I enjoyed "Hell On Wheels" because of the setting, the characters and the drama.

At least there weren't any '92s or '94s or Colt SAAs.

Agreed and although I may have missed some parts which may have been incorrect I did like the fact that they used period correct Henrys and Winchester 1866s.

My horsey friends get bent out of shape over incorrect tack for the era. It's seldom correct but we don't notice or care much if we buy into the story.

I was interested to see groups of cavalry troopers all armed with 1866 rifles.  The producers liked those shiny brass guns...  As was mentioned, though, at least they weren't all '92s and '94s.

They really did. If I remember correctly the Sweed smuggled or purchased a crate of 1866s at one point and later in the series there were a bunch present when the Chinese attempted to take a train.  But all during the series you can see either a Henry or 1866s.

Looking back through this old thread i didn't see a movie mentioned called Arizona 1940. With Jean Arthur and William Holden. About half way through she gives him a Henry.

Yes, she did, along with a Blakeslee box. I haven't heard of historical references of people using Blakeslee boxes with Henry rifles, but I imagine it would work.

Watched "The Kid" Saturday on dvd.  Ethan Hawke as Pat Garrett has an "iron" frame (Uberti) Henry in several scenes.  In one, you can see it is loaded, but in a scene where he's sitting on a porch talking to someone, the follower is down.

It was okay.  I give it 3 stars of 5.  Pretty slow at times and some plot holes.  Played a little fast and loose with the Billy the Kid history.   For those who haven't seen a trailer, the name "the Kid" is actually about a younger kid with his own troubles that gets involved with both Billy and Pat Garrett.  The gunfights were decent.
