SO, ACCORDING TO SOME RESEARCH, STEVE MCQUEEN SOLD HIS NICKLE PLATED COLT.45 REVOLVER TO MEL NOVAK (A FELLOW ACTOR, NOW TURNED STREET PREACHER) AFTER THEY MET TO SHOOT SOME CLAYS WITH JOHN MILIUS AND STEVEN SPIELBERG. THE MEETING WAS IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND THE TRAP SHOOTING OUTING WAS TO TALK TO STEVE ABOUT A STARRING ROLE IN APOCALYPSE NOW. ABOVE IS THAT GUN THAT SOLD AT AUCTION. STEVE LOVED HIS HAND GUNS AND SHOT THEM IN STYLE. CHECK OUT MORE PICS OF STEVE MCQUEEN WITH GUNS AT THE LIFE MAG WEBSITE.
