TRW196  ‘Standing Ready Trooper’

In all of Ford’s ‘Trilogy’ movies the main weapon of his cavalrymen is the

Springfield Model 1873 Carbine! In addition, all ranks would carry the ‘Colt Single Action Army’ pistol with the 7.5” long barrel.

Also of note. All of these new figures, with the exception of the officer have a black leather Carbine Sling worn over their left shoulders. This allowed mounted soldiers to be able to ride their horses and use both hands while their carbines were attached securely to the leather sling on their right side but still be within easy reach.

Previously this ‘Carbine Sling’ was not seen on earlier JFC figures but was much requested by K&C collectors of the range.
