Guns in King Solomon's Mines (1950)

I finally got around to watching this movie for the first time since adolescence. There are four guns of interest to me: A medium bore Mauser-actioned (Rigby?), a Winchester 1895 with an, err, aggressively engraved buttstock, a bolt action with what appears to be a tubular magazine, and a side-by-side double gun that appears to be somewhere between 8 and 12 bore.

Two Questions:
1. What is the bolt gun that appears to have a tubular magazine (and is it really a tubular magazine)?
2. Is the side-by-side a paradox gun?

After a little digging, I came across a snippet from Allan Quartermain that identified the side-by-side as an 8 bore elephant gun loaded with 8 drachms of black powder. Still searching for the tubular magazine gun.

Since this film was shot entirely on location in Africa, it is unlikely that the prop room in Hollywood had much to do with guns--especially since Quartermain was a hunter and a bit picky about his guns.

Ummm, Stewart Granger was well immersed in his character...(touche). BUT, That double sure looks like an 8 bore to me...

A photo of Stewart Granger and his .577 double and the rifle itself can be seen at https://www.theexplora.com/stewart-granger-and-his-577s/.

He clearly didn't think that it was too pretty to take into the field.

No good stills, but at 0:18 into the trailer I captured this:

The trailer is on You Tube.

The gun is pictured at 0:18 at . Deborah Kerr is holding the rifle.

You may want to check the TCM movie notes at http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/78841|0/King-Solomon-s-Mines.html . The hunting sequences are a bit beyond realistic and could not be made today. But taste in cinema is a very individual thing.

The Colt 45 is also in the movie. It has a brief conversation with a big lizard.
