Spencer Shooting Society / Re: Larry Romano Spencer Rifles
« Last post by El Supremo on Today at 07:03:34 PM »
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.

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.

Are you saying they hung it from the saddle horn without a scabbard, or they tied it to the saddle horn while in the scabbard so it wouldn't fall out?  Or both?

 Both

Since it has been brought up...

As a Cavalry Reenactor, for some 30 years, I did sling a Sharps Carbine with an original snap hook and carbine thimble.
I also slung a Henry in Sling over may back from time to time.
Neither was comfortable, particularly at the canter, or gallop... The Henry could and occasionally did pop you in the back of your head.
The Sharps was heavy, and yanked on your shoulder, and on dismount and slung over the shoulder could and did smack you. You learned quickly to dismount without arching your back.
On the other hand, I had a M 1904 scabbard for my O3 in WW1 impression.
When it was rigged as regulation, it was under your leg and O4 stirrup strap making close contact leg grip uncomfortable.
