Title: Spencer sporter carbine ?
Post by: jimsjunk1863 on October 28, 2023, 06:02:55 PM: Hello
Did the Spencer factory make any sporter carbines. I have seen the rifles but no carbines. Pictured is my new addition to my collection. Barrrl is 22 inches in 56/56 caliber. Carving sling bar removed. No sling stud in buttstock. Forend has pewter Forend tip as the sporter rifles do. Do you all think a factory piece or later conversion. Thank you Jim
