Quigley Down Under

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 Vernier peep sight and a Lyman Beach front 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 Army 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. Never said I didn't know how to use it." He pockets the revolver, then realizing he found a reason to use one.

Thompson Center Hawkins

Marston's men arm themselves mainly with these percussion rifles throughout the film. Quigley kills one of these men and takes the rifle off his horse for Crazy Cora to use. One of Marston's men can be seen cocking one on the wagon when the Red-coats approach. It is somewhat of an anachronism to see this gun, as it is a modern made percussion rifle, based off older 19th century designs.
