This video explores the Sharps-Borchardt M1878 Rifle, the final firearm produced by the Sharps company before its closure. The rifle is highlighted as an innovative design by German gunsmith Hugo Borchardt, known for his later C93 Borchardt pistol. Despite its advanced features like coil springs and a striker-fired mechanism, its unconventional appearance hindered initial sales. The description notes that the Schützen community later recognized the rifle's potential, and the video provides a historical and technical overview of this significant firearm.
