To be truthful, I've worked on a few productions that required custom made firearms that ended up in the hands of Hollywood's "anti gun crowd". I remember one film that featured some Dinosaurs, we had Holland & Holland make a bespoke side by side elephant gun in 600 Nitro express with beautiful engraving of a Mastodon on one side plate and a T Rex on the other.
When I asked what was going to happen to the gun after filming the Armorer told me it was going to be added to the director's private and rather large gun collection. He was a "Closet Gun Nut" or so I was told.
On another western (that HughR worked on near the end of his career) I had the Armorer from that film Harry in my office and he was on the phone with a Sherrif in Colorado purchasing an antique Winchester lever gun for the star of that film who is known to be mighty liberal.
