I need to make that one one of these days.  Glad you guys had fun!

Fascinating, stunned, and thanks:

Dusty, I will be happy to share all of what I have learned from Larry Romano and other owners of his Spencer's. 

For now, I believe he made approx. 66 Spencer Model 1860s, with Larry telling me rifles accounted for about 25 percent. 

There is a lot more to this topic and I can help.  My use of "help" is important.  May I suggest you QUICKLY PM me here with your phone contact information.
Very respectfully,
Kevin Tinny

I have a Larry Romano Spencer rifle coming soon.  Looking for any information on number of rifles and carbines Mr. Romano built.  The rifles seem to be more scarce than the carbines.  Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rube did a fine job, check it out.

Thank you.
The next installment will air today on the Schofield.

When I was much younger and hunting with an outfitter on horseback, I packed a pre-64 M70 in a scabbard, butt rear, muzzle slightly down, under my right leg. The barrel was shortened to 21-3/8 inches, with a Weaver K-4 scope. The scabbard I made myself. I would dismount, reach over the horse and pull the rifle from the scabbard. Worked fine.
