The old spaghetti western, "Adios Sabata" is playing on Hulu.com this week. In the film, Yul Brynner is using a strange lever action rifle, cut down to fit a holster, ala "Wanted Dead or Alive", but with a twist.
The rounds are fed horizontally through the receiver, from left to right, in a block magazine with separate holes for each cartridge.
It seems to be a working model as Yul makes fire and smoke with it and the magazine progresses through the gun with each pull of the lever.
Does anyone know anything about this design?
It can be seen clearly in action in the first five minutes of the movie.
Hopefully, there is a picture attached here.
