Item Description
Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this single-shot rifle today for a penny start auction, this is the I.A.B. Sharps Model 1874 Falling Block Rifle!
SPECIFICATIONS:
Manufacturer: I.A.B., Gardone VT., Italy – Imported by EMF
Model: Sharps Model 1874 Falling Block
Serial: 47835
Date of Manufacture: 1999
Caliber: .45-70 Government
Finish: Matte Blue Barrel / Case Colored Receiver, Lever & Hammer
Barrel Length: 28" Octagon
Optics/Sights: Protected Blade Front / Mid Folding Ladder / Soule Type Vernier Tang Rear
Stock/Grips: Checkered Hardwood Straight Grip
Action: Single-Shot Falling Block
Markings: Standard / The top of the barrel is marked “I.A.B. Gardone VT. – Made In Italy”. The left shoulder of the barrel is marked “Cal. 45/70 US.Gov.” The right shoulder of the barrel is marked “E.M.F. S.A CAL” The top tang is marked “47835”. The left side of the receiver shows Italian proofs and a “BM” date code.
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This is a single-shot modern replica of the Sharps rifle. It is great for BPCS matches, especially with the Soule type vernier tang sight. You can also win some long range matches at your local cowboy club with this. And, if you are a traditionalist who thinks that carrying a fast firing bolt action rifle isn’t fair to your game – then this makes the perfect elk hunting rifle. With a .45-70 case, it is possible to load a 400 grain jacketed bullet with enough powder behind it to exceed 2050 fps. (Do not try this with original Sharps rifles – the steel is not strong enough to support the pressures created). If this last option appeals to you, don’t forget to add a recoil pad or your shoulder may never forgive you.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
