I'd like to see this actor load his 1892 Winchester with those 45-70 cartridges from his belt.

I cant tell from pics but is that one of Chuck Conners aka Lucas McCain and other Steve McQueen cause I know McCain used a 1892 44-40 ?

I believe they both had 1892's.

Here's another photo of Mcqueen's.

Not tryin to get off original topic but just came across this and found it interesting :Wanted: Dead or Alive (TV Series 1958–1961) - Trivia - IMDb

According to this article the rounds in belt are indeed 45-70 for filming visual effects , but the cut down "mares leg" is a 44-40 .
