Description:
SALE PENDING MAJOR CAREY A-THIS ANTIQUE SHARPS CARBINE IS SERIAL # 84690 IT HAS 1852 AND 1859 PATENT DATES ON THE RECEIVER AND WAS ORIGINALLY A PERCUSSION BREECHLOADER WITH TAPE PRIMER FEED. THE FACTORY CONVERTED 5000? OF THESE PERCUSSION MODELS TO 50-70 CENTERFIRE. THEY REMOVED THE INNARDS OF THE TAPE FEED SYSTEM AND CHANGED THE BREECH BLOCK TO A FIRING PIN TYPE FROM THE ORIGINAL NIPPLE TYPE. THIS RIFLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE SHINY BORE HAS SCATTERED LIGHT PITTING AND STRONG 3 GROOVE RIFLING. IT FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY WITH A TIGHT ACTION AND A CRISP IF HEAVY TRIGGER. THE SILVER BLADE OF THE FRONT SIGHT LOOKS WORN DOWN BUT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FILED. THERE IS A SMALL CRACK ON THE STOCK, SEE PICTURES. IT IS OLD AND DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT IS A BREAKAGE RISK. THE REAR SIGHT IS A LADDER TYPE ADJUSTABLE TO 800 YARDS. THE RIFLE COMES WITH 2 SNAP CAPS, A SET OF 50-70 DIES, A LEE .515 DIAMETER 450 GRAIN BULLET MOLD, 42 BRASS 50-70 CASES AND 18 CAST BULLETS.
