No idea on tips for you to do it, but just a bit of fun info.
Cullen Bohanon did it in the series Hell on Wheels too. Great series if you haven't watched it.

We have pokeweed which is similar but not quite as poisonous. We make poke salat out of the leaves.
LOL You Americans don't know what thorns are until you have waded through waitawhile. It once took me 3 hours to travel 400 feet through a patch of waitawhile. Imagine tendrils laced with fish hooks and you have some idea.

Yeah...what I said. !!! The kid must have been running from the Comancheros (or customers??!!) the way he took off. We did some great trading before he flew the coop though. But that's okay, man, my 1860 and 1862 are both such great guns now. (after being "turned up" by Jack.

The original 1858 Remington that Eastwood used was modified to take cartridges. It was no longer a cap and ball revolver. The hammer looked to be modified with a hammer mounted firing pin. I suspect the frame window may have been opened up; the cut in the recoil shield to load cartridges was definitely enlarged. I expect Eastwood spent some time practicing the maneuver without looking to get it right on film. He also replaces the cylinder from the right side which would be the correct way with a cap and ball conversion cylinder and I expect with his cartridge cylinders as well. I'd have to watch the scene again to see if he also rolls it slightly as he puts in the new cylinder.

Yep I worked on a horse for a whole summer once. I had a Arab stallion that you could shoot off of. Or, lay the rifle over the saddle and shoot. He was not a nervous horse...and it didn't hurt having a little shooting range next to his corral when he was a colt. !!!

Still think they could do re-takes as long as it took. Or takes. And, still thinking that it was purely a prop-gun, and had the hand removed. But I could be wrong.

Once you cook all the poison out of it and add enough smoked pork and onions to mask the toxic taste, I guess.
. I never liked poke salat.

You have to boil it three times using fresh water every time. I can eat it but I'm not crazy about it.

Yeah I know. It was common where I grew up as well. I'd rather eat kudzu.
