CIVIL WAR Era Antique SHARPS NEW MODEL 1863 Saddle Ring Percussion CARBINE
Iconic Breech Loading SADDLE RING Carbine
Description: CIVIL WAR Era Antique SHARPS NEW MODEL 1863 Saddle Ring Percussion CARBINE Iconic Breech Loading SADDLE RING Carbine Here we present an antique Sharps New Model 1863 Carbine, made circa 1864 in Hartford, Connecticut, with a production run between 1863 and 1865. Sharps rifles and carbines are a series of large-bore single-shot rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848, and ceasing production in 1881. They were, and still are, renowned for their long-range accuracy. The most famous, single-shot percussion firearm used during the Civil War was this Sharps saddle ring carbine, a .52 caliber breech-loading with a 22-inch barrel. Without a doubt, nearly all of these carbines saw service with both Union and Confederate regiments and was the most widely used cavalry arm of the Civil War. Over 100,000 Sharps rifles and carbines were purchased and used by the federal government during the American Civil War. These powerful, accurate and reliable rifles certainly saw history from a firsthand perspective during the conflicts leading up to the Civil War, the war itself, and beyond on the Western Frontier. The Sharps rifles became icons of the American Old West due to their appearances in many Western movies and books. Perhaps as a result, a number of different rifle companies currently offer reproductions of the Sharps rifle. But here you can have the original! The overall condition is very good. Patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid and displays two good cartouches around the sling ring bar. A great example of the Civil War Sharps! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 22 inches. Caliber: .52 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $4425 #220564 SOLD Antique: Yes |
