Made in Italy exclusively for Lyman by Chiappa Firearms, the Ideal Model Sharps is a handsome rifle, featuring a deeply blued 26-inch octagon barrel, nicely figured uncheckered European walnut stock and Schnabel fore-end. The receiver is polished silver-gray, with attractive Victorian-style design elements and a graceful "Lyman" etched on both sides, along with "Ideal Model" on the lock plate. Also of interest is the ram's head and "Lyman 1878" deeply embossed in the polished steel buttplate. The sights are a tang mounted Lyman No. 2 adjustable peep sight and a Lyman 17A globe sight at the muzzle. The double set triggers can be used in the set and unset positions, and the “set” screw can be adjusted to create a light a trigger pull for pure target shooting or heavier for field work. Good articles and reviews of this rifle can be found on-line as well as helpful information regarding its operation and accuracy.
The Lyman Ideal Model Sharps follows the exact form and function of the famous "buffalo gun," it is noticeably slimmer and sleeker. In fact, it is approximately two-thirds the size and is correspondingly lighter, tipping the scales at a scant six pounds — a noticeable deviation from the nine-pound weight of a full-size Sharps .45-70. Here at last is the perfect companion piece for your original or replica Sharps, as well as for anyone of small stature, or who can't (or doesn't want to) tote a heavier gun all day.
This rifle was treasured by a family member before he passed and target fired at the range where he tested his hand-loads and skills at 200 yard range shooting. I do NOT have the original box, any other accessories or manuals.
OPTIONAL BONUS!
There are 50 hand-loaded 38-55 Winchester rounds in the green pictured. The load recipe will be provided. All cases are Starline & these are new cases, never fired. If you have questions about the load or recipe, please ask. IF you want these live cartridges, you can request them and I will ship them to you separately from the rifle and all you'll pay is the actual shipping cost. I've done this before and the shipping is by UPS Ground and is typically between 37.00 to 45.00. You can wait to decide until we know your shipping address, then I can get the actual cost prior to shipping. Please note that these cartridges are NOT being sold. They are being given to you with the purchase of the rifle and shipped to you directly and you are paying for the shipping only. IF this is something you want, PLEASE contact me so we can calculate the ammo shipping and you can include it with your payment. You can call me at 218-343-6794 if you have questions. I probably won’t answer so please leave a detailed message.
