Sharps Borchardt .219 Wasp Custom Benchrest Bridgeport-Model 1878
Description: .219 Wasp/ Donaldson Wasp Benchrest Rifle built on an Original Sharps Borchardt Action which has been Polished and Reblued. Brass cases and reloading dies are available from the seller. Some residual pitting is visible under the bluing; and little of the address remains – with only the letters “… ORT, C…” still readable from what was originally “SHARPS RIFLE CO BRIDGEPORT CONN.” And no patent dates or other factory action markings are visible. Serial Number 61XX is stamped on the bottom, in front of the triggers. The top of the Action Ring is marked in large letters “PV/5C”. The top of the 27-Inch-Long x 0.9-Inch-Diameter untapered barrel is marked “DONALD E. ALDERMAN” between the 3/8” Dovetail Scope Bases – where a small patch of bluing has been removed. The muzzle is Recess-Crowned, and the bore appears bright with sharp rifling to the naked eye. The Straight-Grained, Non-Checkered, Broad, Flat, Beaver Tail Forend / Benchrest Stock has a FAJEN-marked hard rubber or plastic buttplate over a White-Line Spacer -- possibly a Fajen stock in the glossy, swooping space-age style with very prominent cheekpiece of the 1950’s and 60’s. Given the polished-over and reblued action, custom wildcat barrel, and commercial aftermarket stock – condition may be judged from the photos. Behind the Single (Front) Trigger is a Rear 'Trigger' that's really a safety catch.
