CIVIL WAR MODEL 1863 SHARPS CAVALRY CARBINE
|
|
|
Description :
|
This is an original, Civil War Sharps New Model 1863 Cavalry Carbine. It is a .52 caliber breech loading single shot carbine firing a nitrated paper cartridge. Approximately 40,000 New Model 1863 carbines weere produced. The Sharps was the most widely issued Cavalry Carbine of the war. This one is in very good condition. It retains a large amount of its blued finish, with the receiver having a very dark smooth patina. I think the blue may have been touched up a bit. The action works well, but the mainspring is a bit light. The bore is very fine. The stock has the usual dings and scratches from years of use. This is a solid carbine with good shooting potential. Stock no. 20945
