Monte Walsh is a 2002 remake of the 1970 movie which starred Lee Marvin as Monte Walsh and Jack Palance as Chet Rollins. Initially airing on the TNT Network, the remake stars Tom Selleck as Walsh and Keith Carradine as Rollins. Despite the presence of firearms and gunfights this is actually a melancholy story about the end of the open range cattle days in Montana in the 1890's.
The following weapons were used in the film Monte Walsh (2002):
Revolvers
SAA
The Single Action Army is carried and used by multiple characters. But the most memorable use is by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) and Shorty (George Eads). The actual Colt SAA (serial number # 4562, Mfd. 1874) used by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) was manufactured at the beginning of the model's manufacturing history. This specimen was restored by Kenny Howell of R&D Gun Shop.
Colt 1877 "Lightning"
What appears to be a Colt 1877 "Lightning" Double Action Revolver is seen several times in the holster of Chet (Keith Carradine). The revolver is identified as the Colt 1877 due to the distinctive "Bird's Head" grip.
Remington 1875
A Remington 1875 is used by a US Marshal (Tom Glass) who attempts to arrest one of Shorty's partners.
Shotgun
Winchester 1887
The Winchester Model 1887 is used by Shorty (George Eads) throughout the movie. He carries a shorter version with the 22" barrel. This version was available from Winchester and was usually called the "Messenger" or "Guard" Model. A very imposing weapon indeed.
Rifles
Winchester 1886
Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) uses a Winchester Model 1886 Carbine throughout the movie. The Winchester used in the movie was manufactured in 1891. It has a 22 inch barrel and is chambered in caliber 50-110. It was restored by Kenny Howell of R&D Gun Shop. Kenny Howell also did restoration work on some of the firearms used in Crossfire Trail.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Chet Rollins (Keith Carradine) carries a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy". It is only seen briefly out of it's saddle scabbard in a couple shots.
Winchester 1873
Throughout the movie one can get brief glimpses of the Winchester Model 1873 being carried by other cowboys.
