A friend here in Colorado recently purchased what appears to be a complete and original carbine. The four-digit serial number, 5157, blew me away. I just didn't expect to see such a low number in addition to two script inspection cartouches on the wrist yet to be ID'd. Please provide any information you may have that I can pass on to him and "light the fire". I think he has an interesting piece. Thank you for your time and effort. Take care, John

John,
Need to see a photo of the Spencer Carbine, serial # 5157. My SRS books show the serial #s in that range as being issued RIFLES. Your 5157 may have been modified and rebuilt as a carbine????? Serial # under the forend should be the same # 5157 . . . check that out.
John, are you a firearms dealer? You've been interested in Spencer serial #s going back to 2014 ??? ???

Two Flint,
A few moments after logging out after reading your first message I remember meeting a dealer at the Baltimore Antique Gun Show in the early 1990's whose name was the same as mine. I introduced myself telling him I was glad to finally meet me. ;D He gave the "look", finally laughed and the conversation went down from there. Some things I wish I could forget... ;)
