Godless (2017)

Godless is a 2017 Netflix original miniseries Western that was created by Scott Frank, the screenwriter of such films as Get Shorty (1995) and 2017's Logan and the writer/director of A Walk Among the Tombstones. Set in the New Mexico territory in the 1880s, Godless tells the story of a ruthless outlaw who will stop at nothing to find and kill a member of his gang who betrayed and injured him during a heist, which leads him to a town populated almost entirely by women in the wake of a mining disaster. The miniseries stars Jack O'Connell, Michelle Dockery, and Jeff Daniels. This miniseries also is notable for its very accurate depiction and dialogue regarding firearms of the Old West, as well as including many period firearms besides the Colt Single Action Army. All 7 episodes were released on Netflix on November 22, 2017.

The following weapons were used in the miniseries Godless (2017):

Winchester Model 1876

Mary Agnes McNue (Merritt Wever) carries a Winchester Model 1876 rifle throughout the series. Unlike the widely renowned 1873 Model, the Winchester '76 was built with a much larger receiver for accommodating larger, more powerful ammunition. It's chambered in .50-95 Sharps, which Mary Agnes specifically mentions when buying ammunition, prompting the store owner to ask if she's hunting buffalo (A resonable and accurate question, being that the .50-95 Sharps cartridge was developed as a buffalo round, specifically for single-shot Sharps rifles). She uses it to great effect in "Homecoming" (S1E07) during the final gun battle.
