The following guns were used in the movie Quigley Down Under
WARNING: DESCRIPTIONS CONTAIN SPOILERS
1874 Sharps Rifle
Matthew Quigley uses a 1874 Sharps rifle with a 34" barrel(4"s longer than a standard 30" barrel) converted to fire a 45-110 mettalic cartridge with a 540 grain paper-patch bullet. It is uses double set triggers, the back trigger making the front lighter, and is fitted with a ladder-elavated Lavernier peep sight. He is an incredible sharpshooter with this rifle and often makes use of the double set triggers for more accurate shots. Sometimes he shoots from so far away, the report of the rifle is heard 2-3 seconds after the impact of the bullet

Colt Army 1860
Elliot Marston uses a Colt 1860 .44 caliber as his personal sidearm. He refers to it as the Arny revolver and has much respect for its maker, Colonel Samuel Colt. He gives his second one to Quigley in the final duel, thinking he is bad with revolvers based on how he said he never had much use for one. When Quigley defeats him and his two men he says, "I said I never had much use for one. I never said I didn't know how to use one." He pockets the revolver, then realizing he found a reason to use one.
Marston's men are mainly armed with Navy .36s throughout the film. Marston's second hand man carries a pocket version with Ivory grips and cylinder grooves which Quigley also pockets for himself after the final duel.
Remington 1858
When Quigley is in town getting .45-110 shells made, the first of Marston's men to fire on him has a Remington 1858 revolver.
Springfield 1861
Marston's men arm themselves mainly with these percussion rifles throughout the film. Quigley kills one of these men and takes the rifle for Crazy Cora to use.
Colt Walker 1847
Quigley also teks off the dead man a Walker Colt 1847 .44 caliber pistol. Crazy Cora uses the Colt Walker to fend off dingos from her camp and an Aborigine baby while Quigley is away getting 45-110 shells from a town. It has a locking latch on thhe powder packer, meaning it is a newer model(Possible Anachronism?). It is NOT a Colt 1851, the recoil and cyclinder size can show otherwise.
