Might be right on the actress but it looks like she was in a lot of westerns and if it is Gail it is a younger her than when she played Annie.

Running a road block? I assume from some movie. That 49 Ford will have no suspension left when it lands.

I love how the gunner has no cover at all. lol

 

I found this additional info online

"A M1895/1914 Colt-Browning machine gun with a Cygnet pedestal mount is mounted on an Indian motorcycle. Capt. Makaroff sits on the pedestal mount as a gunner while Frederick T. Moore looks on."

 

I never realized that that gun was produced in so many different calibers over its life

6mm Lee Navy
7×57mm Mauser
.30-40 Krag
.30-06 Springfield
.303 British
7.62×54mmR
6.5×52mm Carcano

I do believe that's legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer. The man who tracked down and killed Bonnie and Clyde. He was known to be very fond of the Remington Model 8 rifle.

They are the actors for Rat Patrol. The series is running on cable. I stopped watching as I'm more realistic today then when I was a kid.
