Caboblanco is an American 1980 adventure movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring (Charles Bronson). This is the third collaboration between Bronson and J. Lee Thompson, following St. Ives (1976) and The White Buffalo (1977). The story is set in a fishing village Cabo Blanco in Peru after World War 2. An innkeeper Gifford Hoyt (Bronson) confronts a Nazi refugee Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards) who is seeking to uncover sunken treasure.
The following weapons were used in the film Caboblanco:
Cabo Blanco Police Captain Terredo (Fernando Rey) carries a Colt New Service revolver. One of his subordinates also carries a revolver that is supposed to be same model.
Several policemen carry Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles of Infantry model. Gifford Hoyt (Charles Bronson) disarms a policeman and uses his rifle.
Trivia: The movie was filmed in Mexico that purchased in 1920s about 5,000 Mosin Nagants, produced by New England Westinghouse and Remington under Russian contract and not delivered to Russia due to Russian revolution 1917. In 1920s-1930s Mexican Mosin Nagant rifles were mostly used by various paramilitary organisations, and in 1936-1937 a number of these guns were delivered to Spanish Republicans, but some rifles, as we can see, remained in Mexico until 1980s.
One of Beckdorff's henchmen is armed with a Mauser 98 style sporterized rifle that appears to be a converted military gun rather than purpose-built sporting/hunting. The base gun seems to be a Karabiner 98k though it's not for sure.
