Sharps 1874 Buffalo rifle: full disassembly & assembly
Sharps rifles are a series of large-bore, single-shot, falling-block, breech-loading rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848, and ceasing production in 1881. They were renowned for long-range accuracy. By 1874 the rifle was available in a variety of calibers, and it was one of the few designs successfully to be adapted to metallic cartridge use. The Sharps rifles became icons of the American Old West due to their appearances in many Western-genre films and books. Perhaps as a result, several rifle companies offer reproductions of the Sharps rifle.
In the 2012 film Django Unchained, a Sharps 1874 Buffalo rifle is used by the protagonist Django Freeman and his mentor Dr. King Schultz. The rifle is, however, anachronistic since it was not introduced until twenty years after the film’s time period.
