Spencer Carbine 20" .44-40

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.
