Chiappa Firearms 1874 Sharps Cavalry Walnut .45-70 22 Barrel 1-Round

Overview

Chiappa 1874 Sharps Cavalry Features The 1874 Sharps Cavalry rifle is chambered in .45-70 Government with a single-shot falling block action and a 22-inch blued steel barrel at a 1:18 twist rate delivering the legendary .45-70 s hard-hitting performance through one of the most historically significant single-shot action designs ever produced. The color case hardened steel receiver provides the authentic swirling case color finish that defines the original Sharps aesthetic while the blued barrel delivers a period-correct two-tone appearance that collectors and traditionalists expect from a faithful 1874 reproduction. A half-cock hammer safety provides the traditional manual safety function consistent with 19th-century single-shot rifle handling. The falling block cavalry carbine is stocked in hand-oiled walnut with a traditional patch box inletted into the buttstock delivering the warm natural grain appearance and tactile feel of properly finished walnut that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. A hand-oiled walnut forearm completes the furniture set for a cohesive premium presentation throughout the platform. The ladder rear sight with adjustable windage and elevation and blade front sight provide a classically styled field-capable sighting system suited to the .45-70 s trajectory at hunting and long-range target distances. Chiappa built the 1874 Sharps Cavalry as a purpose-faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic American single-shot rifle designs of the post-Civil War era combining authentic finish work and traditional materials with modern manufacturing quality control for a platform that performs as well as it looks. The combination of color case hardening blued barrel hand-oiled walnut and a patch box delivers a collector-grade appearance at a price point that makes genuine Sharps 1874 aesthetics accessible to a broad range of enthusiasts.
