Product Details
Features
The 1859 Sharps Infantry rifle is renowned for its 30 inches round barrel with steel bands, walnut stock and forend and a single trigger mechanism. Originally, the Sharps sporting rifle earned the nickname "Old Reliable" from buffalo hunters due to its robust design and reliability in the field. Modern manufacturers faced challenges in reproducing Sharps rifles, especially with its sliding breech-block and angular receiver, but Taylor's has successfully met these challenges, offering a wide range of popular Sharps models suitable for both hunting and target shooting. Among the Sharps models, the Sporting model features an octagonal blued barrel, adjustable front sight and double set trigger for enhanced accuracy. The Infantry and Cavalry models, distinguished by their fixed front sight and round barrel retained by steel bands, differ slightly in the Infantry version, which includes a patch box in the stock. The Berdan or Sniper model is equipped with double set triggers for precision shooting applications. Production includes faithful reproductions of the most significant rifles from the American Civil War era, encompassing both paper cartridge and metal cartridge models. Utilizing the best materials and manufacturing techniques, these rifles feature parts machined from forged metals for durability and strength. Deep rifling ensures excellent long-distance shooting performance and all models are drilled and tapped for installing Creedmoor sights and front tunnel sights with interchangeable inserts, excluding military variants. For those seeking a high-quality, historically accurate rifle for hunting or shooting sports, the Sharps models from Taylor's offer a practical and reliable choice, faithfully recreating the essence of these iconic firearms.
