American Primeval on Netflix

[JEBMs]

JEBMs, what did you say? I can relate to the hearing aid issue and they’re so darned expensive. Age, noise, genetics and guns.

Yup….I checked every one of those boxes.

Anyone able to comment on the revolving rifle seen in one of the parties? I am wondering that met the period correct scrutiny?

I saw that also, but I'm not an expert on gun of that period. I thought I saw a brass framed 1851 Navy in one scene, but not 100%. I don't think they existed in 1857 but could be wrong.

The Army Captain is holding it in Episode 4 when the Shoshone come up on the ridge at the Army encampment. It is an 1855 Colt Revolving rifle. It has a full stock, I don't if recall the one I held at a gun show having a full stock.

I found the old pic. I guess the one I held indeed had a full stock.

I appreciate that the show isn’t for everyone, but dismissing others who enjoy it as ‘sick’ seems unfair. American Primeval is intense and raw, but it reflects the brutal realities of the frontier era. If you’re looking for something more idealized, maybe Little House on the Prairie would be a better fit for your tastes.

Now you’re just being mean spirited, Flint. Go ahead and pull up a chair by our fire. You’re my new idol.
