c1863 CIVIL WAR Antique SPENCER REPEATING RIFLE CO. .52 Caliber ARMY Rifle
Early Repeater Famous During Civil War & Wild West
Description: c1863 CIVIL WAR Antique SPENCER REPEATING RIFLE CO. .52 Caliber ARMY Rifle Early Repeater Famous During Civil War & Wild West Here we present an antique Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Military Model Rifle, made circa 1863 in Boston, Massachusetts, during the Civil War. 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, where Custer’s 5th Michigan Cavalry wielded these, 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 truly one of the iconic rifles of the Civil War and Western Frontier. The overall condition is good to very good. The steel parts have a gray patina throughout. The serial number is in the 6000s, making this one quite early. The bore is in nice shape with strong rifling. The action is excellent. The stock shows the type of wear you might expect of a Civil War rifle, especially one that was probably used by cavalry. There is a visible cartouche on the left side of the wrist reading “ECW” for E.C. Wheeler. A stunning piece of history with lots of mileage and still in fantastic condition! 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 $5325 #210350 SOLD Antique: Yes |
