Except for the closeup when Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas) pushes the safety off on the shotgun, the receiver on the gun he is using looks like an Ithaca Model 37, as the photo of him taking cover shows there is no ejection port on the right side as the Model 870 has, although the forestock and vented rib on top looks like the 870. There is also a double action revolver that Colonel Zolo uses when he confronts Joan Wilder (Theresa Russell) and shoots at Jack Colton after the bus crash, a stainless DA revolver that Danny DeVito uses to temporarily steal the emerald from Colton and Wilder.

bolt-action rifle
I can make a few observations about the unknown rifle.
1. It is most likely a Mauser variant because of the "latch" (do not know the technical term) that allows you to remove the bolt which is a feature of a Mauser.
2. It is shortened, with the front sight removed for some reason.
3. Besides that, the movie "Romancing the Stone" was partially filmed in Mexico. The reason for removing the front sight while keeping the rear sight is beyond me. Dudester32 (talk) 15:52, 10 June 2016 (EDT)
