SOLD - Pending funds 1859 Sharps Cavalry Carbine by Pedersoli .54 $1500 shipped

duece2x · Jan 29, 2025

I have a beautiful Sharps Cavalry Carbine percussion for sale. Newer model with the factory O-ring block. Works well but I have acquired another one and don't need two. No marks on it at all. A real nice rifle. Hard to find this one out there for sure.

They take either a .510" or .515" bullet. Originals were .515" but reproductions are likely .510" bore.
Neat guns. I have an original that was converted to 50-70 after the Civil War. Sadly here in PA we can use them in regular rifle season but not in our early ML season (doe only).

I used the ringtail bullet in this one.

I’ve used the ringtail bullet for this one. It’s .54 at the bottom ring. Also called the Christmas tree bullet by some

The groove diameter is probably around .535 or more, with a .520 bore. These will require a bullet with at least a thousands or two more than groove diameter to shoot well.

I measured .54 in the groove at the muzzle and .52 land.

Please educate me on this rifle….. assuming it’s not a cartridge rifle. Is this for paper cartridges loaded from the breech or muzzle? Thanks.

duece2x · Feb 18, 2025

That’s correct, paper or linen cartridges.

Hey, I have a question. I know that some of these have been converted. Can you buy the parts for that or is it something that requires a gunsmith?
