Spencer Carbine

[Jarhead]

Anyone own, shoot a Replica Spencer?

Pro's Con's

Pros: Major Style points and cool factor. You can keep several magazines loaded.
Cons: 56/50 RF is impossible to find. The CF version is available and reloadable. Not as quick as a Henry since you have to cock the hammer and operate the lever in two different motions.

would .45LC be a decent cartridge for a Replica?

[Anubis Laughed]

I'm not sure if they make a replica in 45LC? Believe its only 44/40, .45 Schofield, or .56-50CF.

Ten-X ammo currently loads .56-50CF. The originals were 56-50 Rimfire, which as Alan says, is extremely hard to find, and would basically be considered collectors ammo anyway.
