The school guns, was the first time I'd seen them. I just couldn't make out, other than a Krag, what they were. Too short I thought, but they were a Krag. It took a while for me to figure it out. Then I see the movie after many years and the light came on...

Wonder what was holding it in? The Remington (and that is what it was) rod has a completely smooth shaft and normally screws in, but the TD (at least that vintage) does not have a threaded keeper. Must just have been dirt and crud, though that is belied by the fact that it spun - another TD mystery!
