Handguns

Colt Single Action Army

Various models of the famous Single Action Army are carried by various characters throughout the film. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) receives a blued SAA Peacemaker from the Colt dealer after he stands up to Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) at the clock dedication celebration. Before he and Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd) leave, Marty gives his Colt SAA to Seamus McFly (also played by Michael J. Fox). Mad Dog Tannen himself carries a nickel SAA, as does Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown in 1955.

In 1955, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) prepares to fire his SAA to help Marty start off the Delorean. The revolver doesn't appear to be the same model that Doc uses in the original Back to the Future to defend himself from the Libyan terrorists, as this pistol appears to be a 'Civilian' model with a 4.75in barrel and different grips instead of the 'Artillery' model with a 5.5in barrel that was seen in 1985.

Rifles

Winchester Model 1866 Yellow Boy Rifle (Custom)

Doc Brown is seen using a modified Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" Rifle with a custom built scope (with exposed optics), custom sights, and large-loop lever. The design of the scope suggests that Doc customized the rifle himself. Armed with this weapon, he demands that Mad Dog Tannen's gang release Marty McFly after shooting through the rope of the noose around his neck.
