Actor destroyed my Remington 1907-15 Berthier
Mint condition, 100% blued, perfect wood. The actor dropped it in front of a slow moving Model T Truck and snapped it just behind the bolt handle. :mad: Don't know how much it was worth since it was a gift many years ago. Yet another RETARDED actor story. Will post pictures of the destroyed gun for posterity.

Who pays for the guns that are broken due to actor's mistake, them or their agents? Or is it so-called "tough sh*t" for armourers?
|
Which movie or show were you working on?

"Oh! Its ridiculous to expect us to reimburse anything more than $50 for a destroyed Colt Single Action Army!!!" Etc. Because many times they know nothing about guns and think I'm lying when I quote them the blue book value. To be fair, the major studio productions are usually pretty good about paying replacement cost (PLUS punitive damages) but that's not the point. We all know there are guns we just can't replace so it really sucks when actors act like retards. |

You'd think they respect people when they have an entire armory of guns. :D

Wow, tough break there. If it was something relatively expendable, sure. Just roll your eyes and chalk it up to actors will be actors.
But that has to just suck. |
Shit, sorry to hear that man. A Remington too.
If it matters, it's worth about $600-800. The Remingtons weren't actually accepted by the French so they turn up in good shape fairly often. |
Was it a personally owned firearm or a com pany gun? BTW, what movie/tv show are you working on?
