    Hollywood Guns

    Sponsored by William B. Ruger

    Some of the most famous firearms on the silver screen over the past 70 years, as shown in the William B. Ruger Gallery and the National Sporting Arms Museum.

    From the Oscar-winning Western Stagecoach, which made John Wayne a star in 1939, to the Iraq war thriller The Hurt Locker which won Best Picture at the 2009 Academy Awards, and many classics in-between, "Hollywood Guns" spotlights 125 firearms that have thrilled moviegoers for generations.

    Some examples:

    • Dirty Harry Callahan's .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 29
    • The Winchester 1892 carbine that helped make John Wayne a hero
    • The suppressed Remington 11-87 used in No Country for Old Men

    Don't miss this rare showcase while it's here. "These guns have never before been seen together," says Museum Director Jim Supica, "and probably never will again."
