The ultimate late plains rifle, A very early spencer conversion to buffalo or bear rifle Ser# 5231. As I understand it these were instrumental in the extinction of the california bear. The california bear was a distinct species larger than the grizzly or the alaskan brown bear. This monster has a 34 inch barrel & weighs 17.5 pounds. the metal is in excellent shape with no pitting. the wood is excellent. It has a tight action & very good bore. I sold this gun about 8 yrs ago and it sold in 3 days. These Conversions are somewhat scarce 7 shots 56/50 rimfire. A rare offering.
