Sharps Borchardt Bridgeport-Model 1878 Original Double-Set Trigger Schuetzen Rifle .40-70 Sharps Caliber
Description: A Rarely Encountered Used Original Sharps-Borchardt Model 1878 Double Set Trigger Schuetzen Rifle in .40-70 Sharps (Straight) Caliber; Serial Number 69XX is located in front of the forward (rear-facing, set) trigger. The 30-Inch Heavy, Round Barrel is Slightly-Tapered; Barrel-Mounted and Tang-Mounted Target Sights are present – including a Globe-Aperture Front Sight. The High-Grade and Finely Figured, Diamond-Outline Checkered Pistol Grip Stock has a Shadow-Outline Cheekpiece, Bright Nickel Two-Prong Schuetzen Buttplate & Wrap-Around Checkered Schnabel Forend. The Top Prong of the Buttstock is also upper buttplate screw – turned/unscrewed using a tool through the hole shown in the photos. The Barrel retains nearly all of it’s blue; has a flat crown, and remarkably well-preserved rifling with sharp lands & grooves and no major blemishes to the naked eye. The Receiver, Lever and other action parts are mechanically tight, fully operational, and have a finish that’s predominantly smooth patina with barely the slightest hint of case color. The Tall Ladder-Style, Folding Tang Sight carries a Large Disc with an aperture that’s somewhat larger than a pinhole & has Fine-Adjustable Elevation Screws. The Aperture Front Sight is Windage Screw / Vernier-Adjustable with a wide range of motion. The Barrel also has a Double Blade Folding V-Notch + Ladder Sight for Short and Intermediate Distance Targets. Not being experts or dealers, but having gone through approximately 20 or so Borchardts and numerous High Wall & other single-shot rifles in this Estate, the metal and wood finish appear to be well preserved original condition, showing careful use & handling for age – as best we can tell. Details are best judged from the photos. Please ask any questions or request additional information before purchase as this item will be costly to return owing to CA re-registration and other regulations. Any refunds will be minus our actual shipping cost and FFL fees after buyer pays return shipping. The listed price Includes Insured Ground Shipping from a CA FFL Dealer to yours. Payment is by Money Order, Bank (Certified) Check or Personal Check (held 2-3 days). We are the Estate Executor and Trustee, not a dealer, and cannot handle credit card or electronic payments.
