Help identify please
Can somebody please help me identify this old muzzleloader? Going through a deceased family members stuff and found these two gems. The repeater is a Spencer Repeater Carbine.
From what I remember, my Uncle said that he removed the firing mechanisms on all his guns when I was young and he was living with me, but not being familiar with either of these guns, I don't know what that means. If there is anyone that would be willing to take a look at them in person and evaluate them to get them shooting again, please DM me or send me in the right direction. Thanks! |

I’m sure someone will be IMG shortly to tell you exactly what it is.
The only thing I was able find that was similar are early model of the sharps or spencer rifles. But I didn’t see any with ram rods. Better pics and any other descriptive info would probably be helpful. Any markings? Any idea what caliber? Etc. Good luck!

Okay, and now I get it, there are two different rifles. The first 2 pics appear to be the same, the 3rd appears to be the sharps/Spencer. And OP mentioned that in the first post. Reading comprehension fail.
My bad.

Here is a link with a good photo examples of a close copy of the Lorenz rifle. Takes a close look at the trigger, the location of the pins in the firing mechanism and the front metal barrel band, the shape of the wood stock, Etc.
... http://www.loyalistarms.freeservers.com/1854LORENZ.htm I should make it clear I'm not an expert on old percussion cap rifles like that so I absolutely could be wrong and I hope someone here knows exactly what it is. Last edited by sealocan; 02-24-2019 at 10:36 PM.. |
