Original Sharps 1863 Turnbull Restoration
Description: TURNBULL SHARPS Original Sharps Model 1863 that was restored by Turnbull Restorations in 1999; serial number C37631 dates this action to about 1864. This Sharps bears the exquisite case color hardening that Turnbull Restorations is known for. It sports a 30” medium weight barrel and is chambered in the ever popular .45-70 caliber. Bore appears to be unfired or nearly so; I rate it as 9.5 out of 10, based on my naked eye (no bore scope). The barrel retains strong bluing, the edges are sharp and has the caliber stamped onto it. The barrel measures 1.000” at the muzzle and has a pleasing tulip at the breech. It is a replacement barrel and is not stamped “Old Reliable”. The barrel has very light freckling overall (see pictures). Rear sight is a Shiloh Sharps flip up buckhorn sight and the front sight is a hooded sight with a post. The rifle has wonderful double set triggers and a smooth silky action. The buttstock has a very, very small, almost imperceptible, scratch at the left rear of the receiver. It has a strong Schnabel forearm and the wood is a fine dark color brown color. A very graceful, tastefully restored and well balanced Sharps in a popular caliber.
