Interesting rifle and chambering

I am sure they had more than one to work with. Its my understanding that the rifles used mostly were in fact El Tigre Spanish rifles and not real Model 92's.
The rifles were of course modified and the show made no secret of that, there were episodes that showed Ol Lucas Boy working on his trip lever.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
