Description:
A supurb example of the Spencer Carbine which was manufactured in 1863 and used in the Civil War, then returned to Springfield Arsenal after the war and refurbished for use in the western frontier. In order to conserve ammunition, the Stabler magazine cut-off was added at that time, allowing soldiers to load and fire as a single shot, or use the magazine for rapid fire to repulse a charge. For ease of handling by the cavalry, the barrel was shortened 2 inches to a 20 inch length. Being the first U.S. military repeating long arm, those guns were lovingly referred to as the gun "you could load on Sunday and shoot all week" because of the seven shot magazine. They definitely closed the door on the single shot muzzle loading era and became the model for all future military and civilian arms. This gun, serial number 7xxx, is in near new condition and retains 95% plus of its blue and case hardened finish. It is 100% original and may never have been fired. It is definitely one of the best extant. PRICE: $9,495 We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974. PH. 859-276-1419 We Buy, Sell and Trade.
