Description:
Antique Spencer Model 1865 Carbine Burnside Contract Model Civil War
Civil War Production Spencer
Here we present an antique Spencer Model 1865 Carbine, made in 1865 by the Burnside Rifle Company. The Spencer was a very successful carbine that was desirable on Civil War battlefields due to its handy size, accuracy, and rate of fire. The magazine tube in the butt holds 7 shots and a captured Confederate soldier is quoted as saying that you “load in the morning and fire all day!” The inventor, Christian Spencer, had the unique opportunity to personally instruct President Abraham Lincoln as he test-fired the rifle, resulting in more military sales.
This specimen is one of the Burnside Contract, making it scarcer than those made by the Spencer Repeating Rifle Company. Out of the 34,000 made by Burnside, over 30,000 were purchased by the U.S. government. This carbine is in very good condition.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 22 inches in length.
Caliber: 56-56 rimfire
Bore is in very good condition. The firing mechanism is excellent.
