Antique U.S. SHARPS New Model 1859 .50-70 GOVT SADDLE RING CAVALRY CARBINE
Civil War & Wild West Icon!
Description: Antique U.S. SHARPS New Model 1859 .50-70 GOVT SADDLE RING CAVALRY CARBINE Civil War & Wild West Icon! Here we present an antique U.S. Sharps New Model 1859 Saddle Ring Carbine, made circa 1859-63, then converted to .50-70 GOVT circa 1867 for use in the West by the federal government. Over 100,000 Sharps rifles and carbines were purchased and used by the federal government during the American Civil War. Many of these were updated to handle metallic centerfire cartridges in the post-war period. Some of these arms retained their original six-groove rifling, while the bores of others, as is the example, were re-lined with three-groove rifling. New buttstocks without cartridge boxes were used in all cases where replacement was required, regardless of the original configuration. These carbines were issued to the regular cavalry regiments on the western frontier and remained in service until they were replaced by the Springfield Model 1873 Trapdoor Carbine. This is one of the iconic carbines of Western lore, as they were handy, accurate, powerful and reliable guns, and many went to the Western Frontier as trappers, explorers and settlers moved that way. They experienced some of the most exciting times in American history during the Indian Wars, the settling of the West, and the connecting of the coasts with the Transcontinental Railroad. The overall condition is good. The action is excellent and strong. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid. There is an original inspector cartouche above the saddle ring bar and a metallic cartridge conversion “DFC” cartouche on the left side of the butt stock. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 22 inches. Caliber: .50-70 GOVT 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 $3100 #244311 Price: $3,100.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
