Linus Rawlings ([[Jimmy Stewart]]), the beaver felt trader and "mountain man", carries a [[Kentucky Flintlock Rifle]] when he is seen riding his horse while among the Native Americans before meeting up with the Prescott family in present-day Ohio in 1839. Colin Harvey ([[Mark Allen]]) takes his father Alec's flintlock rifle when Linus first arrives at their camp. "Colonel" Jeb Hawkins' band of river pirates also carry flintlock rifles when they accost the Prescotts and Harveys. During the 1850s sequence, men riding in the wagon train west to California fire flintlock rifles at the attacking Cheyenne Indians. Some of the Indians seen during the 1860s railroad sequence also carry flintlock rifles, including one that fires at Zeb Rawlings.

Cleve Van Valen ([[Gregory Peck]]), a St. Louis gambler, tries to gamble during the wagon trip to California by betting a "fine London-made pistol".

Cleve Van Valen ([[Gregory Peck]]), a St. Louis gambler, plays in a poker game on the wagon trip to California and bets a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] he pulls from his belt which he calls "a fine pistol... London-made (inaccurate) and loaded for bear". The pistol was rented to MGM Sept 5, 1961, in Culver City, from Stembridge Gun rentals, recorded as the only one and by serial number. It was used for this process /rear projection shot of the poker game and the later sequence of Peck mounting the team to stop the runaway wagon, now seen in his waist band. In the framing shots, done on location at Lone Pine, Peck has no pistol. They rented the pistol for just a day. A later shot of him running after the toppled wagon shows a larger pistol.
