Kilgore made not only die-cast Cap Guns, but LOTS
of cast-iron Cap Guns. Well, Kilgore was such a prolific company, and so many
of you have sent in more photos and text of various Kilgore Cap Guns and
products, that we have a lot of pages. Keep sending them in!

Though this Pal Cap Gun isn't
one of the "higher" of the Kilgore Series, it's still in the series isn't
it?

Kilgore Machine
Gun and Nest

Here is a really unusual Cap
Gun. It is a machine cap gun that sits on a plastic sand bag nest and you turn
the handle to make it shoot. This has a 6-inch long barrel and is part plastic
and part die-cast metal. The original set had 4 paper soldiers that would be
knocked down by air from the gun.

I
had never seen one of these before! This is a 1958 Kilgore Fastest Gun Boxed
set that is truly mint. The set comes with two Kilgore rangers, red and blue
and the holsters and belts for each. The guns have NEVER been cap fired, and
have a very tiny opening in the bottom for the fast draw plug. The cow skull
has a red and blue light representing eyes which indicate the winner of the
draw. Both of the original instructions are present and it is a fantastic large
display box 20 x 13 x 5 inches in size. The box lid unfolds as a point of sale
piece for the top.
Thanks to Michael Linn.
Somebody pinch me. This
Cap Gun is so doggone rare that it almost doesn't exist. It has unusual
lettering saying, "LONE RANGER" and an unusually large safety lever on the
side.
Thanks to Belinda Quan from Chuck Quinn's
collection.

Aren't
these beauties? These were made by Kilgore. There are a lot less Lone Ranger
Cap Guns than you might imagine! Just try and find some. You probably have
about 10 people who want one for every person who has one. This Cap Gun looks a
little like a Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum I think, just not as hefty.
Thanks to David
Denton.
CLICK HERE FOR CLOSE-UP
(BIG!!!) OF LEFT GRIP
This close-up shows the rider and horse on
the grip and the "HI-YO SILVER!" written there. Different gun, but you'll get
the idea of how it is supposed to look up close. |

I can't even
believe I am seeing this one. It is the same (basically) as the darker one just
above, but has a chrome barrel and frame and marbled grips complete with the
box and a manufacturer's ad sheet encased in plastic. This Cap Gun also has the
very narrow hammer.
Thanks to Belinda Quan from the Chuck Quinn
collection.
Kilgore
Lone Ranger 50 shot mint w/ box with wide hammer & dark finish. Marketing

Here's a
Cap Gun I have not seen before. But there's a lot of those. This particular one
needs a new hammer spring.

More fine
photos of the Kit Carson Cap Gun.
The four photos just above are thanks to Doug
Hamilton! |

Here is just
a SUPER Kit Carson kit that has never once even been out of the box (by a kid,
I'm sure the owner who was selling it took it out for photos) The tag reads
"Real Texan Outfit." Well, this real Texan never owned one, but I sure would
have been proud to. I owned Nichols sets, of course! But isn't this one great?
It says that it is a Betty Leach design (holster). And notice the $1.98 price.
Well, you won't touch it for less than about 100 times that now!
This photo

holsters. Same guns, but in really immaculate condition! Very nice!

Here's
the long-barrel version of the Kit Carson Cap Gun. This gun also has a grip
that is similar in concept to the Grizzly grip.

are harder to get than the guns!
