We’re proud to offer a recreation of a firearm first produced by Christopher Miner Spencer one of the leading figures of the machine tool industry. When Spencer originally produced an 1860 model carbine it was different from any other firearm because it was accurate fired rapidly had a long effective range and held seven metallic cartridges so they weren’t affected by moisture. It could be fired more rapidly than a Colt®-style revolver and reloaded in one-tenth the time. In 1865 the gunmaker deliverd the 1865 Spencer Carbine which was modified to correct flaws inherent in the 1860 design. Today the 1865 Spencer in carbine and rifle features a case-hardened frame blued barrel and walnut stock. – Action Type Lever action – Barrel Bore Diameter 0.442 – Barrel Contour Round – Barrel Finish Blued steel – Barrel Grooves 6 – Barrel Length (in) 20 – Barrel Twist & Rotation RH 1×16 – Buttplate/Pad Casehardened steel – Caliber .45LC – Capacity 7 – Firing Pin Type Traditional – Front Sight Fixed blade – Forend Finish Walnut – Frame Finish Casehardened steel – Hand Dominance RH – Overall Length (in) 37 – Rear Sight Dovetail ladder sight – Stock Finish Walnut – Taylor Tuning Option Taylor tuning not available – Trigger Type & Pull Single trigger – Triggerguard Finish Casehardened steel
