1874 SHARPS TARGET RIFLE
Description: This is the 1874 mid range rifle with medium weight 30" oct bbl. There are no markings on this bbl. This is a tapered chamber and looks like it would accept 32-40 Winchester cartridge but it will not. Exact cal is unknown. The bore is near excellent with strong rifling right to the chamber area. Bright and shiny. On this gun for sights is a globe front with leveling bubble and a mid range Vernier tang sight. This tang sight is original to the gun as it is marked with the same serial number that is on the upper tang of the Sharps. Overall condition of this gun is very nice. Still some case colors remaining on the frame. Most of it has dimmed and has turned the normal aged case colors of grey. Bbl is a grey/brown patina. Nice smooth metal. Checkered pistol grip stock. Nice fitting. There is a light crack at the pistol grip area. Wood is solid with no losses. Typical Sharps forearm with the Schnabel tip and checkering. A very good looking Sharps rifle.
