I need expert help identifying a spaghetti western I saw many years ago. Facing another shootist, The Man With No Name carried four Colt Model 1851 Richards-Mason Conversions, two in belt holsters and two in his boots. The Richards-Mason Conversion was Colt's factory conversion of cap & ball Model 1851 Navy revolvers to fire .38 rimfire cartridges.

This was a real weapon used by Doc Holliday and others who favored the old 1851 Navy. The movie revolvers had been customized with thumb switches to eject the cylinders, and The Man With No Name had speed loaders up his sleeves with four replacement cylinders, giving him 48 rounds to obliterate his adversary and part of the town. Channel surfing cable many years ago, I surfed into this gunfight and was called away and never saw the rest. I haven't been able to identify the movie and I would like to see how it ended!
