1860 chamber dimensions

[El Supremo]

If anyone knows, would you please share chamber dimensions for the 1860?  Thanks.

Greetings My Good Supremo -

Unfortunately, the exact dimensions of the C&B Colt replicas are as variable as the makers. The Original Colt patents indicate a straight cylindrical chamber with a hemispherical bottom ( by the nipple) but the replicas have a mild taper to them. When I can get to my revolvers, I can try to make a wax casting for you , but it will vary by manufacturer and year, and I expect it will also vary with the inevitable wear on the tooling....

Thanks, but I was referring to the 1860 Spencer on this Spencer Forum. 

Couldn't find CHAMBER dim's, but there are lots of postings about cartridge dim's.

My Good Monsieur Tinny -
I apologize profusely for my Fax Paus in the flagrant disregard ( ie: my dumb screw-up ) of not noticing the forum in which I was replying !

With any luck someone who can actually read will come along shortly to assist you!
