Boardwalk Empire and Richard Harrow's many Remingtons
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2016 7:34 pm
Hey y'all -
Not sure if any of you guys watch/have watched Boardwalk Empire on Amazon Prime, but since my wife does so much shopping with Amazon - this is one of the perks!
Anyway, one aspect of the series I appreciate is the attention to detail in terms of 1920-1930's firearms. A character that particularly interests me is Richard Harrow, a WW1 vet/former sniper who has lost an eye and been disfigured in the war - wears a "tin mask" to conceal his scars - and has an incredible collection of firearms!
From what I can recall, he had used a Model 51 semi auto .32 pistol, a Model 11 sawed-off semi auto shotgun, a Model 30 express set up with a scope in .30-'06 (may have been a sporterized Enfield Model 1917 though), amongst many guns he appeared with.
Also in the series, many JMB designs abound - of course 1911 pistols, at least one or two Winchester 92 lever actions, and several Model 520 Stevens pump shotguns.
Cool stuff! JMB and Remington rule!
