I would love one - wish it came in slightly meatier calibres, though (Thinking 45/60 or similar).

Given the shortness of the original calibre, I think .45 Colt is about the best one could hope for. :thup:

That looks like it would be a lot of fun down the range - not that I gain any enjoyment from any kind of shooting mind! ;)

Ah, needless to say I have a Spencer carbine as shown in the photo. It's a US Civil War issued gun in 56-56 Spencer. I've made cartridges for it from 50-70 cases and an bought a center fire breech block as the original is a rim fire cartridge. In the movie the "Unforgiven" they refer to it as a Spencer rifle. It is not, it is the single band carbine. My brother has the three band Spencer rifle of which only 1000 or so were made. We keep waiting to see who dies first as the survivor ends up with both Spencers. My rifle was carried by a fellow name Esra Kelly who spent most of the war manning forts in Boston Harbor. There were sent south towards the final days of the war and I doubt that it ever fired as shot in anger.

OMG, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't have one of those. I could chop up a Winchester and make one however that would be illegal in the US. I have to buy one as a pistol however I would question why buy a perfectly good lever gun that should be a rifle and use it as a pistol when it's so much easier to buy a Single Action Army Colt Long 45.
