Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 6:39 pm Post subject: Andy Griffith's Gun Rack |
|
My kids have been watching Andy on c.d. and I never realized how cool the guns were on his rack behind the chair Barney usually sits in. They trade spots on the rack but usually there are 3 bolt actions, a Marlin 39, and a Winchester 94, and a double barrel side x side. I think the bolt-actions are a Springfield "03 sporter, Mauser fullstock, and a Greek Schoenauer that has been sportered, or a Portugese Mauser Verguerio sporter? Any geeks out there verify this? I remember watching one episode where andy totes the 3rd rifle in a man-hunt. The tip-off was the bolt-handle was beside the magazine instead of the trigger-guard. The bottom view looks more like the Greek. I remember a sporter built by Haenel that may be a candidate also.

I think your right about the 03 Springfield, and the 94 and Marlin 39, they also had a Win 1897 pump on the rack and a Win 1912 pump. I also remember someone holding a Rem 1100 auto in Andy's living room while talking to Andy.
Now you got me thinking about the show again, guess I better go look for the dvds.

Here's a web page that tells of a few guns from the show. Really cool page too, you can search by actor's name or search by the type of gun, or the movie or tv show.
