Hello there...I have acquired a 1865 Burnside made Spencer Carbine also,sn4585. It is missing the front sight blade, but the dovetailed base is still there. I am wanting to find someone who has a bladed front sight to give me dimensions and material(silver?brass? steel?).
Any chance yours has that sight? thx for any help...Wolfdog in Arizona
ps...sure am anxious to get reloading but now hear 4D dies are still a year out from being available! Damn...you shoot yours?
