CIVIL WAR | FRONTIER Antique Model 1860 SPENCER SADDLE RING CAVALRY Carbine Early Repeater Famous During CIVIL WAR & WILD WEST
Description: CIVIL WAR | FRONTIER Antique Model 1860 SPENCER SADDLE RING CAVALRY Carbine Early Repeater Famous During CIVIL WAR & WILD WEST Here we present an antique Model 1860 Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Army Model Saddle Ring Carbine, made circa 1863-1865 in Boston, Massachusetts, during the Civil War. The Spencer is a lever-action repeating rifle designed by Christopher Spencer in 1860, leading some to refer to this example as the “Model 1860”. These lever-operated, breech-loading rifles were marvels of the time and had a lasting impact on how war was to be fought in the future. Though their service life in the U.S. military was relatively short, the Spencer story includes Christopher Spencer, the inventor of the rifle, demonstrating and shooting with President Abraham Lincoln, who gave his full endorsement of the piece. Supposedly, during the battle at Gettysburg, a captured Rebel that day said one could “load in the morning and fire all day!” This was due to the Spencer’s most endearing quality: a 7-round magazine tube in the butt of the gun. This gave the shooter phenomenal firepower in a day when most soldiers were muzzle-loading single shots or even singly loading their breech-loading carbines. This is one of the iconic carbines of the Civil War and Western Frontier. This is the type of Spencer that was used by Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood in the movie “Unforgiven”. Many a buffalo were taken off the plains during westward expansion by the Spencer rifle. The overall condition is very good. This example is nicely refinished. The stock and forend have average handling wear. Thin, stable forend cracks. Excellent action. The breech block is a model 1865 replacement. Dim bore with serviceable rifling. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 22 inches. Caliber: .52 Spencer Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3250 #250028 Antique: Yes Price: $3,250.00 Buy Now Pay with
