FINE Antique BURNSIDE-SPENCER Saddle Ring Carbine
Description: FINE Antique BURNSIDE-SPENCER Saddle Ring Carbine Made in 1865 & Served During Indian Wars Here we present an antique Burnside-Spencer Model 1865 Carbine, made in 1865 by contract by the Burnside Rifle Company in Providence, Rhode Island. 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. The top of the frame is marked “SPENCER REPEATING RIFLE/PAT’D MARCH 6, 1860/MANUP’D AT PROV. R.I./BY BURNSIDE RIFLE CO. 1865”. The left side bears cartouche initials “G.C.” and “A.H.N.”. The overall condition is fine. The receiver still bears vibrant case colors and the barrel’s blue finish has turned plum over time. All markings are clear and legible, including the fabulously preserved government inspector cartouches on the left side of the wrist. The walnut stock in great shape. Bore is shiny and the rifling is sharp. The action is excellent, strong and crisp. This is an excellent value and your chance to own a Civil War contract carbine that went on to be used in the Cavalry during the Indian Wars! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 20 inches. Caliber: .56-50 Rimfire 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 $3850 #7270 SOLD Antique: Yes |
