Spencer screw for an Original carbine
« on: April 18, 2014, 05:21:27 PM »
I need a new screw for my original carbine, the one that holds the upper breech block to the lower. I have checked S&S, Dixie, Lodgewood and not luck. Any ideas? Will a Chiappa one work?

I doubt that one from Armisport will work, as they are all Metric.  You may have to make your own.  Do you have or have access to a small lathe?

Larry has repeatedly assured me that the threads on HIS screws are different from an original.

He does not use the "square" threads on barrel shank or outer magazine tube.  While the external dimensions of those parts are very close to original 1860's, the parts won't fit onto originals.  The inner magazine tube is swappable.
Pay attention to that soft voice in your head.

Thank you all, I was able to find one and my 1860 carbine is back in action.
