The Pedersoli Sharps 1874 Cavalry Carbine (part no. 010S775457) recreates the compact cavalry version of the legendary Sharps rifle, chambered in .45-70 Government with the precision Italian craftsmanship Pedersoli is known for. The 22-inch blued barrel keeps this falling-block single shot light and quick to handle compared to full-length Sharps rifles, making it a natural fit for mounted shooting demonstrations, cowboy action side matches, and collectors who want the carbine variant. The walnut stock completes the authentic frontier-cavalry look.
