In this video, we take a look at the fascinating history of the Sharps rifles and carbines. These iconic firearms played a significant role in the American West during the mid-19th century, and were widely used by settlers, hunters, and soldiers.
The Sharps rifle was first patented in 1848 by Christian Sharps, a gunsmith from Pennsylvania. The rifle was known for its accuracy and reliability, and quickly gained popularity among hunters and marksmen.
