Need centerfire block
« on: December 10, 2016, 04:19:43 PM »
Hello!  A friend of mine just came up with a Spencer Rifle (one of 1109 converted by Springfield Arsenal) and he'd like to shoot it.  Does anyone happen to have a used centerfire block they don't want anymore?

Hello:

A c-f block should be a drop-in fit with NO cycling issues.  A few have reported here about guns having issues later discovered to be from ones assembled post-Civil War from parts or being parts of a block of rifles sold to the Mass State Militia.  If it is not the block, it could be an out-of-spec frame and possibly other parts. 

If there are fit issues, please consult here BEFORE removing metal!

Chances are your is going to be ok.  Be patient and gentle.

Respectfully,

El Supremo / Kevin Tinny

I got my center fire block from S&S. I had to fine file mine to fit smoothly. I put blue in on the block to see where it was hitting. But then again, I had access to a machine shop and a machinist that could advise on fitment. Go slow, measure twice and all will be nice.
