Description:
Designed by Christopher Spencer, the 1860 Spencer carbine was a repeating 7-shot carbine that utilized a tubular magazine housed in the stock and operated by a lever. This .52 caliber carbine was immensely popular during the American War. Chambered for the .56-.56 Spencer rimfire cartridge the carbine was actually a .52 caliber firearm. This carbine has a very low serial number 538 which would put it near the beginning of production. None
