Members badger Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 Just finished this commission for a fellow Firefly fan. This is a replica of Zoe's rig from Joss Whedon's Firefly. The gun is the original hero Mare's Leg used in the show. It's a substantial rig, about 7mm thick all over. The fore end clip was interesting to figure out. The inert cartridges are 45 Long Colt, the originals were 44/40 cal. The buckle was cast from the original and I copied all the dimensions over. It's as close as I can make to an exact copy. What do you think Tasha? Badger Quote
Members wildland Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 I'm a huge Firefly fan and love to see others as enthusiastic about it as me. The piece is beautifully crafted. Quote
David Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Doesn't anyone remember Steve McQueen in Wanted Dead or Alive? You did a great job on the latest version of a classic firearm Dave Edited April 12, 2009 by David Quote
Members badger Posted April 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 David, Zoe's gun and holster rig are a deliberate homage to Josh Randall's. Joss Whedon says it's his favourite gun, ever. Cheers, Badger Quote

You did a great job on the latest version of a classic firearmDave Hey David, Thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw this rig. I was a bit to late for the original run of the show. But thank god for Netflix, I've seen em all now. Man I love westerns. To bad ole Steve isn't with us anymore, he made some good ones. And Badger, Thats some excellent work. really like to worn vintage look it has. Very impressive and thanks for shaing, James Quote
ArtS Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 I loved that show Dave. Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
Members DG Leather Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 Simply this is my favorite gun and holster of all time~~~~~~ Living in CANADA unfortunately leaves me in a predicament that I am unable to holster this type of firearm legally and is unable to be fired anywhere in CANADA except at the gun range (where you can not holster a firearm nonetheless). This is the only reason I would love to live in the USA..... Quote
rhall Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Nice work Badger I Liked that show as well! I have Lever guns in .45LC and .44-40 both are great fun to shoot,if they were not so damn exspensive I would cut one down LOL.Did y0u see the post by our Cananadian neighbor...God Bless America,Please let your elected reps know how important your 2nd Amendments rights are to You!

Members tonyc1 Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 What retains the rifle apart from the bottom clip? Tony. Quote
Members badger Posted April 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 Tony, It's a chopped Rossi 92, Winchester clone. It has a saddle ring on the left side of the receiver block. The ring slips over a hook at the top of the 'slab' section and the spring clip retains the fore end. If you walk around with it, you need to tie it into the clip with a thong, just to be sure. Gina Torres wore the rubber stunt version in the rig more often than not. Much lighter Cheers, Badger Quote
