This video provides an in-depth look at the Sharps & Hankins Navy Model Carbine, a single-shot rimfire weapon designed by Christian Sharps. The description highlights its unique action, which levers the barrel forward, and its novel floating firing pin mechanism, a feature uncommon for its time (1850s-1860s). The example shown is a US Navy purchase, distinguished by a leather sheath on the barrel intended to protect against salt spray, though now often a liability for moisture trapping. The video delves into the technical aspects and historical context of this interesting carbine.
