"The Twilight Zone" Mystery Rifle

nukem556 · 07-04-2011, 10:25 AM

I just watched the episode online (yeah I'm bored)...I think both rifles are just Hollywood mockups. Bronson's looks like some kind of pump-action with a pistol grip and a MP40 style folding stock. Liz Montgomery's (sigh, I had a crush on her when I was about 8!) looks like a cross between a Garand and a French MAS with a side mounted Pedersen device kinda magazine.

Possible but Bronson's rifle looks familiar...especially the pistol grip & forearm...It has no visible magazine, which I think was purposely left out...Montgomery's rifle wasn't visible long enough for me to grab a screenshot...If I'd thought of it, I'd have saved the whole episode and broken it down in VirtualDub...Maybe if they rerun it later today...I'll check...

There was another episode that had two opposing soldiers surviving a battle/war...and at the end, the English-speaking soldier was Russian, and the mute soldier [female] was American...I thought it was this episode, but this one just had them walking away together, no national affiliation...

That rifle is a classic that I have longed for all my life. It is a 30-30 guage magnum semi automatic, lever action, pump gun. It has a revolver grip. It takes a 53 round pineapple clip and you can hook your knife to the front. Very, very rare.

This may be

, but Rod Serling was a Paratrooper in WW II. Does anyone have any more info about his service record?
