Hello everyone..What are your opinions of the TV series Hell On Wheels? At least they are using correct Henry & 66' winchesters...although that last episode with the long-range mercy shot with a Sharps..it looked an awful lot like a 74'..bit too early. But the real goof-up was a write up in a western guns magazine about show..praised authenticity of arms..then went on to tell of Elam purchasing the latest improved Colt conversion..the 1871-72' Open-Top!
The Central Pacific & Union Pacific had met 2 years before this came out!
Oh well..that Hollywood.
