Reproduction of a short rifle made of metal and wood, with loading and firing simulated mechanism. It recreates a piece from the American Civil War and Old West (1861–1899) period, made of wood with a grey finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a \u003cstrong\u003enon-firing display replica\u003c\/strong\u003e: the mechanism is simulated for realism, it cannot fire and cannot be converted to fire.

At the end of its movement backwards, the closure causes a bullet to move from the magazine to the lifting tile, and then the reciprocal forward movement of the lever causes the tile to rise, placing the bullet in front of the breech, where it is pushed into battery by closing. The last stroke of the lever upwards again blocks the lock to the firing position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design of this model was a return to its origin, using shorter revolver cartridges that produced less pressure. It also incorporated a Browning action which was much more resistant than the first rifles derived from the Henry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rifle was used by Josh Randall, the character of Steve McQueen in the television series Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958-1961). So this weapon has also been known as Randall Special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Denix (Spain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDenix reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1095\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rifle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Civil War and Old West (1861–1899)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,487 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDisplay ideas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShow it on a wooden stand, in a glass cabinet or a shadow box, or on the wall of a study, library or games room.
