Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) uses a Shiloh Sharps 1874 Long Rangerifle with a 34" barrel (4"s longer than a standard 30" barrel) converted to fire a .45-110 metallic cartridge with a 540 grain paper-patch bullet. It has double set triggers, and is fitted with a ladder-elevated Vernier peep sight and a Globe front sight. He is an incredible sharpsh...
Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman) uses a Colt 1860 Army.44 caliber as his personal sidearm. He refers to it as the Army revolver and has much respect for its maker, Colonel Samuel Colt. At one point, he is seen placing his second one in Quigley's belt.
Marston's men are mainly armed with reproduction Griswold & Gunnison 1860 Revolversin .36 caliber throughout the film. They are not Colt 1851s as previously noted due to their round barrels and brass frames.
Dobkin (Tony Bonner) carries a pocket version of the 1851, known as the Colt 1851 Navy "U.S. Marshal"with ivory grips and cylinder grooves which Quigley also pockets for himself after the final duel.
One of Marston's men tries to draw a "belly gun", a Colt 1862 Navy, from the small of his back before being shot by Quigley.
Marston's men arm themselves mainly with Thompson Center Arms Hawken Plainsrifles throughout the film. Quigley kills one of these men and takes the rifle off his horse for Crazy Cora to use.
Grimmelman, the gunsmith of the town, offers Quigley a Italian .45 caliber dueling pistol, called simply the "Bounty Hunter". Quigley refuses to take it, claiming he never had much use for a shooter (pistol).
Quigley also takes off the dead man's horse a Colt Dragoon 1848 .44 caliber pistol. Crazy Cora (Laura San Giacomo) uses the Colt Dragoon to fend off dingos from her camp and an Aborigine baby while Quigley is away getting .45-110 shells from a town. Presumably the same man who owned the horse is seen cocking the gun on the wagon as the Red-coats ap...

At the end of the film when Quigley is preparing to leave Australia, the travel clerk cocks a Hoppes Model 300 Ethan Allan boot pistol (source, 3rd Ed. Black Powder Gun Digest, page 16) under his counter when asking his name, aware there is a bounty on Quigley.

Jan 4, 2011 · The rifle that shooters today most recognize as the “Sharps” thanks to recent movies like Quigley Down Under, is the Model 1874, which actually saw its earliest production in 1871. The feature that probably best helps identify an early Model 1874 from the New Model 1869 is the thickness of the lockplate.
