I thought I heard, not to awful long ago, that somebody was doing some filming down there. I know it has been used for filming since the fire.

When I was running the "Street Entertainment" at Apacheland Movie Ranch south of Apache Junction, AZ, I was told that Batjac had used Apacheland for a few short scenes. I was never able to confirm that, though. But some of the customers thought he (JW) worked there, because I would do the announcements over the PA while doing my impression of him. Everybody loved it!

I would like to know for sure if he actually ever did any work out there.

LSI is now offering a Winchester replica '92, the kind of rifle that was so predominant in all of his westerns, with the later style loop, although I believe they still offer the larger lever loop also. They go for about $520 MSRP. I was lucky enough to get an older one a few years ago that had the larger loop and have had a ball with it.

Howdy!
Go by the name of Buck Sweet. Just joined yesterday and this is the first chance I have had to post.

I've been a fan of the Duke since I was about 12 years old. I used to do an imitation of the Duke semi-professionally at an Old West tourist attraction may years ago. Sad to say, the place does not exist any more.
