Winchester Model 1892 Carbine

When Luke (Bill Moseley) is seen on the rooftop, he carries a Winchester Model 1892 Carbine (in other scenes, Luke's gun is an M1873 Carbine). A Winchester Model 1892 Carbine is also seen in the hands of an unnamed gold prospector (Tom Fallon).

Luke carries a Winchester 1892 Carbine tucked into his belt.

Winchester Model 1892 Short Rifle

Clarence "Skunker" Thurston (Seymour Cassel) carries a Winchester Model 1892 Short Rifle. In one scene, it briefly switches to a different, longer version of M1892 (see below).

Winchester 1892 - .38-40. The screen gun is of the same length, but has octagonal barrel rather than round.

Another view of Skunker's rifle. The forend of the stock and the attachment of the tube magazine to the barrel match the Short Rifle version. Note the nonstandard attachment of the rifle sling.
Skunker holds his rifle during the night scene. The octagonal barrel is seen.

Winchester Model 1892 Rifle

Due to a continuity error, Skunker's (Seymour Cassel) Winchester 1892 Short Rifle briefly switches to a longer version of M1892. A similar rifle is seen in the hands of a Klondike townsman.

Skunker carries the rifle on a sling while he is clinging to the overturned sleigh.

Another view of Skunker's Winchester rifle in this scene. It is definitely longer than the Winchester 1892 Short Rifle and has a visible yellow (maybe brass) metal plating on the buttstock.

Winchester Model 1892 (visually modified as Henry 1860)

In various scenes Alex Larson (Klaus Maria Brandauer) and Tinker (Clint Youngreen) use Winchester Model 1892 rifles, visually modified to resemble the Henry 1860. Jack Conroy (Ethan Hawke) captures the rifle from Tinker. The base M1892 is a long rifle with octagonal barrel.

Bannerman Mosin Nagant 1891

Sykes' dog handler (John Beers) is armed with a sporterized Mosin Nagant, known as a "Bannerman Mosin Nagant".

Bannerman Conversion Mosin Nagant M1891 rifle - .30-06. This is a Remington-produced Russian contract gun, sporterized and converted to .30-06 by Bannerman's in the early 1920s for the USA sporting and hunting market.

Enfield Pattern 1853

A Klondike townsman holds a partially seen muzzleloading musket or rifled musket. Judging by the shape of the ramrod tip, the gun is likely an Enfield Pattern 1853.

Enfield 1853 - .577 Ball
The "slotted jag" ramrod tip allows to identify the gun as an Enfield 1853. The position of the barrel bands matches the "three-band" infantry model.

Unidentified rifles

A lever-action rifle is briefly seen in hands of a gold prospector. It has a semi-pistol grip stock that is not very common for lever-action guns.

Trivia

A police officer carries a holster of typical British pattern for Webley .455 revolvers. It's hard to say if there is a gun inside.
