RE: Period correct '74 Sharps Buffalo Rifles?
Most any sporting sharps with a straight grip would be correct. 44-77 was the most chambered, 40-70 and 40-90 both had good reputations, and the 45 2.1 and 45 2 7/8 had a good following in the later years.
50-70 were plentiful while the much vaunted 50-90 received more press in later years, than the actual production numbers show.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
