Lyman “Model of 1878” Sharps Rifle
The Ultimate Refinement of the Side-Hammer Sharps
As the buffalo era was ending, Sharps refined their renowned rifle to create the rare
1877 Model. It was often referred to as the “English Model” not just due to its refined
styling but for it's high quality English-made barrels. This would be their last side-
hammer model. More streamlined, the '77 was more hunting/target rifle and less
heavy buffalo gun. It was the most advanced single shot of the day. A year later
William Lyman introduced his now famous Tang Sight.
Now, reproduced for today's single shot enthusiast, Sharps' final iconic side-hammer
design and Lyman's sights combine to create Lyman's “Model of 1878”. Painstakingly
crafted to Lyman's specifications, by Pedersoli, this rare model has only been repro-
duced as an expensive, custom-made gun, until now. Lyman has changed that with
a rifle that's packed with features that assure tack-driving performance.
First and foremost, Pedersoli's renowned craftsmanship and premium quality 45/70
barrel work in conjunction with the double set triggers and Lyman's tang and globe
sights for a complete accuracy system. The butt stock has the faster mounting and
more comfortable “shotgun-style” butt and the forend is finished with a premium
ebony tip. Both carry tasteful, functional checkering patterns. Period style, laser en-
graving adds additional elegance to the receiver and lockplate. Overall, Lyman's Model
of 1878 is a unique and desirable addition to any single shot enthusiast's collection.
