GR-0424-6131, Sharps Sporting Rifle. 45-70 cal. 30 inch octagon barrel. Double set triggers. Serial number 68xx matches on the tang and on the bottom of the barrel under the forearm. Bridgeport barrel with the Old Reliable stamp too. Sharps manufactured and put together gun. The Bridgeport guns were made starting in 1876. The gun weighs about 10.5 lbs. The gun retains a dark brown patina on all metal parts. I see no finish but when I took off the forearm there was original blue on the bottom of the barrel. The wood to metal fit is very good. The wood is very good, it does not appear to have even been cleaned or sanded just carried and used showing honest wear, jumps and dings. There is an old repair on the right side of the stock, it is a rectangle shape piece of wood behind the lock, up against the bottom tang. The repair looks really old. The top tang has a crack in it, I cannot tell if it is broken all the way through the piece of metal. I would expect it is but I did not take the screws out to look. Structurally, there is a tiny bit of wiggle but very little. Functional mechanics. The bore is bright, shiny crisply rifled with some very fine scattered spots. Very good bore and better than average for a 45-70 sharps.
