Steve McQueen starred in the TV series, "Wanted, Dead or Alive". The gunbelt had 45-70's in it because they admitted that it looked cool. The BATF found out about the shortened rifle so it turned out to be the most expense rifle in TV history.

"The Hunter" was based on the life of Pappy Thorson, a real life bounty hunter. At the timespan the movie was made, he lived across the street from James Doohan, Scotty from Star Trek. I believe Pappy is now deceased and the business is run by his wife.
