I have already registered with CAS and am requesting to join the SSS as i have an original 56-56 carbine that has been in my family for generations. the serial # on it is 13536. I would be very interested in finding out some of the history of it. I have coverted it to shoot center fire and reload my own ammo for it using 50/70 and 50/90 brass and a Rapine .546 mould. I still have all the original parts for it.

Good Afternoon Two Flints,
Found this sight and currently own a Model 1865 Spencer by Burnside, ser.#200xx. Thought this may be a sight to get connected to to help with info and possibly history of this gun. Thanks for hosting this sight.

Trooper Bill checking in from Idaho! I'm a Sharps and trapdoor user and am now learing my new Spencer .56-50 rifle. I am one of many that believe smokeless powder is just a passing fad!

I just inheirted a nice Spencer carbine and know little about it. It's s/n is 106xx, patent date 1860, there is a cartouche on the left wrist that has what appears to be the initials "DAP". No caliber markings.
For 150 years old it's in very good condition although the wood has developed some cracks, the metal finish is worn away but not rusted, the bore rifling is still there but is rough. The magazine spring is very rusted and looks to be on its last legs. Would a spring from Chiappa work?
If safe and feasible I'd like to shoot it a time or two.
How do the conversions to shoot modern pistol ammo work? Is there a barrel liner?
Any and all info you could provide me would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thank you

I own a Spencer rifle that was one of the 700 modified by the Springfield Armory for the ordnance trials of 1871.
I am in the process of converting the .56-50 rimfire to shoot centerfire black powder ammuntion.
I also own a Sharps rifle with similar Springfield Armory changes (and a Remington, and Ward-Burton), all in all, the Secretary of the Army tested and reviewed over 40 rifles and carbines in the 1870's, with 5 rifles making the final cut, but all lost out to the Springfield Trapdoor.
Happy to find this site, and continue learning about these 140 year old rifles that still shoot great today!
