Spencer sporter carbine ?
« 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

How about a closeup of the disk???? on the buttstock?  What is that?

 Jim,

Do you have a photo of the left side of the frame?
Thanks.
My best,

The nose cap and band look like they came from a Spencer rifle. How long is the barrel, measured from the front face of the breechblock? Is it 52 caliber or 46? Could you post pictures of the sights?

Looks like a standard carbine that has had some "customization". Definitely not a Spencer sporter, just an honest working gun.
