Greetings, new member,
I just purchased an 1860 Spencer carbine, # 53587. I would love to get an information or history on my carbine.
Also, I need a few parts to complete my carbine and make it a really nice Spencer.
First, I need a the back screw for the ring/slide. There's a chewed up replacement screw that looks bad.
Second, in the butt, there is a screw hole where something is missing. I believe it's something to hold the magazine in place (I do not know the official name of this part).
I would really appreciate help with the above so I can sleep at night. Here are photos of my Spencer.
