You Can Purchase This Item Now, By Following This Link to garysgunshop.com Description: The Chiappa 1874 Sharps Rifle Cavalry (920.017) is a single-shot falling block rifle chambered in .45-70 Government, built as a historically accurate reproduction of the iconic cavalry carbine carried by mounted soldiers in the post-Civil War era. This 45-70 Government single-shot falling block carbine is an ideal option for cowboy action shooters, big-game hunters, and collectors who want a hard-hitting, classically styled lever-style rifle in a compact 22-inch format. Key Features Part number: 920.017 Caliber: .45-70 Government Capacity: 1 round, single shot Action: Falling block Barrel length: 22 inches (559 mm), blued round barrel Receiver finish: Color case hardened Barrel finish: Blued steel Material: Steel construction throughout Stock: Hand oiled walnut with patch box Forend: Hand oiled walnut Rear sight: Ladder-style, adjustable for windage and elevation Trigger system: Single trigger Extraction: Extractor Safety: None Twist rate: 1:18 Overall length: 39.25 inches Weight: 8.37 lbs Special Features The color case hardened receiver delivers the swirling, multi-tone finish achieved through traditional bone charcoal case hardening, giving each rifle a finish that is visually distinct and period correct. The walnut stock includes a functional patch box built into the buttstock, a detail carried over from the original Sharps design that provides a small storage compartment and enhances the period-correct appearance. The 22-inch blued barrel replicates the shortened cavalry configuration issued to mounted troops, producing a lighter and more maneuverable rifle compared to the longer sporting and infantry barrel lengths in the 1874 Sharps lineup. The ladder rear sight adjusts for both windage and elevation, giving the shooter a classic long-range sight picture that mirrors the original military specification equipment on the historical Sharps carbine. The falling block action locks up with the mechanical simplicity and inherent strength that made the original Sharps design a benchmark for single-shot rifles capable of handling large, powerful cartridges. Hand oiling the walnut stock and forend rather than applying a heavy polyurethane finish keeps the wood grain visible and allows the stock to develop a natural patina with use and handling over time. Practical Benefits The 22-inch barrel and 39.25-inch overall length make this rifle easy to carry in the field, transport in a saddle scabbard replica setup, or maneuver at a crowded shooting range without the bulk of a full-length sporting rifle. The .45-70 Government cartridge delivers enough energy for large game hunting at moderate distances, and the falling block action handles both standard factory loads and heavier handloads without concern. The color case hardened receiver and blued barrel combination gives the rifle a display-quality appearance, making it a practical choice for both working cowboy action competitors and firearm collectors who appreciate historically grounded craftsmanship. Competitors in cowboy action shooting will find the Chiappa 1874 Sharps Rifle Cavalry (920.017) fits naturally within period-correct single-shot rifle categories, pairing well with other 19th century-style firearms on the stage. If you are a collector, a hunter drawn to classic cartridges, or a cowboy action shooter looking for a rifle that performs and looks the part, the 1874 Sharps Cavalry (920.017) in .45-70 Government gives you a well-built, authentically styled platform that earns its place in any serious collection or on any range. The Chiappa 1874 Sharps Rifle Cavalry (920.017) in .45-70 Government is a dependable option for the cowboy action competitor or historically minded shooter who wants a period-correct, single-shot falling block carbine built to both display and shoot with confidence.
