I bought a Marlin 1895 .45-70 because I wanted a repeating rifle in that historic caliber.
And just in case one of L. Ron Hubbard's Psychlos shows up around here.;)
Saw it today; this one will definitely join the DVD collection.
The battle of San Jacinto is also featured, though without the depth given the main story.
Lots of flintlock action, and Billy Bob Thornton as David Crockett was outstanding. Great job of showing the man behind the myth.

And a Beretta on the way.
I've got a 10/22 just like that. Based on a conversation with a Ruger collector, I think this was a limited production variant made only for Wal-Mart. I've no idea of the value or collectibility, though.
Night Of The Comet: Two Valley Girls (who just happen to have been trained to use firearms by their soldier father), use submachine guns to fight off zombies.
It was either an AMT Longslide .45ACP, or a Colt King Cobra .357.
I can't remember which one I bought first. I no longer have them.
I was 29 or 30 at the time.
The Longslide was a good, reliable pistol. It must have slipped out of the factory by mistake, because the other AMTs that I've owned...
CB900F,
I've read books about Leyte Gulf, but this is the first one I've seen that covers the Samar action in detail. The author does a good job of describing the battles in the Sibuyan Sea and Surigao Strait as a prelude to Samar.
Remarkable fact: One battleship of Kurita's Center Force...
I'm reading The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors, a book about the incredible battle off Samar in October '44 in which a Japanese force of 4 battleships, 8 cruisers and 11 destroyers was repulsed by an American task unit of 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts.
