I stripped and started cleaning my new, to me, original Spencer yesterday.
I discovered a couple of issues I would like your comments on.
On the butstock, behind the saddle ring bar, there is a very thin section of wood which has lost a piece. I am guessing this isnt too important given how thin it is?
Secondly, I have some plastic 56-50 reloadable blank cartridge cases but they wont chamber the last 1/4". Any ideas why?
Thirdly, I knew it was missing the hammer, it looks like it snapped off the tumbler so I am looking for a replacement tumbler.
My pics are too large to attach here.
