Howdy All
I would like to sign up
Overload Killkenney is my CAS moniker
I shoot in Canada (around Calgary Alberta)
I just picked up an 1865 SRC Spencer Carbine
Serial Number 1401
20 inch barrel
56 50 I think , but it has rimfire and centerfire firing pins
I chambered a shortened piece of primed 8x50R Lebel Brass and set it off OK
but the blade extractor will not pick up the .622 Rim of this cartridge case
I see the Starline stuff has an even smaller rim
Perhaps 50/70 will work
Looks like I've got my work cut out for me to get this gun to function properly.
I'll do some reading around here to see if I can't figure it out.
PS
Does anyone know where to get a breech block spring (the big main one)?
thanks
