The Historical Legacy of the Sharps Rifle
Christian Sharps patented his innovative rifle design in 1848. The original Sharps rifle used a linen cartridge and percussion primer, which made it faster and easier to load than conventional muzzleloaders. By 1859, the U.S. Navy placed its first military order for 900 rifles, and that same year, John Brown’s raiders carried Sharps carbines at Harper’s Ferry. During the Civil War, cavalry units received Sharps carbines for their superior speed and reliability.
After the war, Sharps rifles adapted to metallic cartridges became famous for long-range accuracy. The American Rifle Team used them to win the first international long-range rifle match, while professional buffalo hunters favored heavy-barreled models for their precision at extreme distances. The 1874 Extra Deluxe model continues this legendary lineage, faithfully replicating the rifles that shaped American frontier history.
