1863 mfr CIVIL WAR Antique SPENCER Full Length ARMY MODEL Rifle .52 Rimfire What Custer’s 5th Michigan Cavalry Had at Gettysburg!
Description: 1863 mfr CIVIL WAR Antique SPENCER Full Length ARMY MODEL Rifle .52 Rimfire What Custer’s 5th Michigan Cavalry Had at Gettysburg! Here we present an antique Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Army Model Rifle, made circa 1863 in Boston, Massachusetts. These lever operated, breech-loading rifles were marvels of the time and had an 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. While the Spencer carbine has a fascinating history unto itself, the Spencer “musket” style, full length rifle was the one made famous for its use at Gettysburg by none other than George Armstrong Custer and his 5th Michigan Cavalry. Supposedly, 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. The overall condition is very good. The original finish has a dark patina. The stock is in good condition with average handling wear. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. A very nice example of an early Spencer rifle like those at Gettysburg! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 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 $4800 #250020 Antique: Yes Price: $4,800.00 Buy Now Pay with
