Welcome to the Group:
Please share your experiences with us as you put the shoot into your rifle.
Few things:
This Forum has a section entitled "SORI" for Spencer often requested information.
A thorough study of it will help you avoid pitfalls.
Armisport Spencers have progressed through years of subtle modifications involving chamber dimensions, rifling twist rate and a few important parts.
Your rifle may differ from the one in SORI, so be careful that what worked for one member might not for your rifle.
TEST cycling of loaded rounds can, given the frequent stutters in movement by new owners, create a rare instance of the loaded round's PRIMER contacting the cartridge feed guide. Yep! Operator error.
Be sure yours cycles easily and only fuss with loaded rounds in the proper setting with the muzzle pointed SAFELY. I LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY! No injuries, but lost a few gray hairs.
Don't alter by twisting, stretching, filing, rounding, stoneing or polishing anything without inquiring here first. No home gunsmithing.
Use a genuine mainspring vise, NOT channel-lock pliers to remove the mainspring.
If that spring flies out of channel-lock, it may fracture from the violence.
The Taylors location in Winchester has good employees, BUT they deal ONLY in current models and parts for current models. Chiappa has a warranty facility in Dayton, OH that can help with older versions and parts for them.
All the best,
