The following guns were used in the film Joe Kidd:

Joe Kidd (1972)

C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser

Lamarr Simms (Don Stroud) carries a C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser as his weapon of choice in the film, and fits the unique holster/stock combo to the back of the grip to shoulder the pistol like a rifle. Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) later uses it when escaping from the bounty hunters, and shows us that in Hollywood a ten shot pistol can fire about 30 rounds and lock empty several times before actually needing to be reloaded.

Canadian Ross Model 1910 (custom)

As Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) escapes from the bounty hunters, he grabs a rifle case containing a custom built Ross Model 1910 straight pull bolt action rifle that has been sporterized and modified as a break down rifle, and fitted with a Winchester A5 scope. The gun also has a fixed five round magazine instead of the extended ten round version. Joe uses it when battling Olin Mingo (James Wainwright) in a sniper standoff.

Joe checks the scope of the Ross M10. Clint appears to be left-eye dominant, and thus fires the rifle "south-paw". There is also the chance he may be ambidextrous.

Joe loads a round into the Ross M10. It is assumed it is a .303 British round.

Joe shoulders the Ross M10. Note the P-shaped bolt, indicating it is a Ross, as does the straight pull action seen when he ejects the spent shell.

Joe takes aim at Mingo with the Ross M10. Note the flat 5-round fixed magazine.

Remington-Keene Frontier

Olin Mingo (James Wainwright) carries a Remington-Keene Frontier rifle fitted with a scope and with a shortened magazine tube as his sniper rifle in the film, noted by its external hammer mounted on the back of the bolt. Based on the muzzle diameter it appears to be chambered in .45-70. A similair rifle is seen used in The Sons of Katie Elder.

Mingo checks his Remington-Keene Frontier rifle while in the hotel room.

Mingo fires his Remington-Keene at Luis' men in the mountains.

"If you don't blink soon, your eye-balls'll fall out." Mingo scans the mountains while armed with his Remington-Keene.

Mingo fires his Remington-Keene at Joe Kidd from the mountain tops. His biggest mistake was to stand out in the open and not even lay prone, which makes him an easy target, even at the range he was shooting from.
