  • Rifles using this action include the M1870 Belgian Comblain, M1872 Mylonas, Sharps rifle, Farquharson rifle, 1890 Stevens, Sharps-Borchardt Model 1878, Winchester Model 1885, Browning M78 and Ruger No. 1. Falling-block action military rifles were common in the 19th century. They were replaced for military use by the faster bolt action rifles, which could reload from a magazine. As well as artillery falling-block action rifles are still manufactured and used for hunting and target shooting and industrial shotguns (8ga) for shooting clinkers in boilers. The falling-block action is closely related to the Martini-Henry rifle, the Peabody action (similar to, but not identical with, that of the Martini-Henry), the Ballard action, and the Krag-Petersson (uniquely, a repeater), which use a pivoting rather than a sliding block.
