Calvera's men are seen with Single Action Armys as well.

Winchester Model 1892
Calvera's men use 1892 Winchester rifles in the movie. 2 are taken off the 3 that are killed mid-movie which the farmers use to train. Harry (Brad Dexter), Bernardo (Charles Bronson) and Chris (Yul Brynner) each show the farmers how to use the rifle. Chris, Bernardo and Chico (Horst Buchholz) all use Winchester rifles during the final showdown. In a promotional image where the Seven are lined up with their guns, Chris, Chico, Bernardo and Harry have Winchester rifles, everyone else has an SAA.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" (Mocked-Up as Henry 1860)
When the farmers are being taught to shoot, one of them is armed with a Winchester "Yellow Boy" mocked up as a Henry 1860. You can identify it as a Yellow Boy and not a Henry as it as a side loader and no hand guard.
It is not a mocked up Yellowboy, It is a Winchester Transition. Rare, but real. Then and now.
