Product Description
This is a replica of Military Sharps Carbine (USA 1859), an iconic breech-loading rifle used extensively during the American Civil War, known for its innovation and reliability. Designed by Christian Sharps, this carbine featured a unique lever-action mechanism that allowed soldiers to load it from the rear of the barrel, dramatically increasing the speed of reloading compared to traditional muzzleloaders. Chambered in .52 caliber, the Sharps Carbine was favored by cavalry units for its portability, accuracy, and range. The rifle’s precision made it especially effective for sharpshooters, earning it a reputation as a deadly and efficient weapon on the battlefield. The 1859 model played a significant role in changing military tactics during the war, and its robust design and functionality kept it in service long after the conflict ended. Its historical significance makes it a prized collector’s item today.
