Bone Tomahawk is a 2015 Horror-Western directed by S. Craig Zahler (Dragged Across Concrete) and stars Kurt Russell as Sheriff Franklin Hunt, Patrick Wilson as Arthur O'Dwyer, Richard Jenkins as Chicory, and Matthew Fox as John Brooder. Of particular interest for Western enthusiasts is the fact that Peter Sherayko (who provided weapons for Russell's 1993 film Tombstone) was brought on as armorer and producer for this film.

The following weapons were used in the film Bone Tomahawk:

Revolvers

Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army

In addition to the Winchester Model 1873, John Brooder (Matthew Fox) also uses a nickel plated Colt 1873 Single Action Army Cavalry.

Remington Model 1890

Buddy (Sid Haig) and Purvis (David Arquette) both carry Remington 1890 pistols in the opening of the film, distinguishable by the lanyard rings on the butts and the grip shape (distinct from Colts).

Remington 1890 - .45 Long Colt.

Smith & Wesson Schofield

Sheriff Franklin Hunt (Kurt Russell) uses two different Smith & Wesson Schofields during the movie. First he carries a blued 5" barrel Schofield similar to the "Wells Fargo" variations. Later he carries a full-length nickel-plated Schofield with ivory grips.

Merwin, Hulbert & Co. First Model Frontier Army

Arthur O'Dwyer (Patrick Wilson) uses a Merwin, Hulbert & Co. First Model Frontier Army throughout the movie. It is differentiated from other later models by the lack of a top strap. It is nickel plated. Rare to see these in movies, and even more rare to see one reloaded in a movie, which O'Dwyer does towards the end!

O'Dwyer with his Merwin & Hulbert. Oddly, in this screen cap it looks like it has a top strap over the cylinder and looks blued rather than nickel. Maybe a different gun used for the shot, or simply a trick of the lighting.

O'Dwyer reloading his Merwin & Hulbert. The static screen cap doesn't do it justice; it's the only time I've seen one of these reloaded in a film. Pretty cool.

Rifles/Carbines

Winchester Model 1873

John Brooder (Matthew Fox) carries a very distinct engraved and nickel-plated Winchester Model 1873 carbine in the film. It is another choice that I am sure was influenced by Peter Sherayko. Very unique version of the gun, very fitting of Brooder's high-falutin' character.

Winchester Model 1873 carbine - 1st generation rifle - 44-40 Cal.

Winchester Model 1892

Sheriff Hunt also carries what appears to be a Winchester Model 1892 carbine while they are out tracking. Since the film takes place in the 1890s (at least, according to the tombstones seen earlier), this is one of the rare instances of the appropriate use of an 1892. It is never fired.

Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine - .32WCF/.38-40/.44-40/.25-20.

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Chicory (Richard Jenkins) carries a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun throughout the movie.

Charles Parker 1878 Side by Side Shotgun - 12 Gauge. The Parker Gun Company was absorbed into Remington in 1934.

Morgan Earp ([[Bill Paxton]]) also is seen carrying it.

Doc himself carries one into the O.K. Corral during the confrontation, as the true Doc Holliday had in 1881. Doc's real-life personal shotgun was a 10 gauge Colt double.
