Hi,
I'd like to be apart of the Spencer Shooting Society. I am not sure how to do that. I am not an active in CSA activities, but the activities of CAS interest me, and I've inherited a Bannerman Spencer Repeating Shotgun from my Grandfather. Using Google Alerts, I became aware of the CAS site, and saw that some documentation on Spencer Shotguns was listed here (I haven't figured out how to view those documents yet).
The story behind my grandfather's Spencer is that it was supposedly the first repeating shotgun seen by the border guard of Dakota territory (at what is now Yankton, SD) to enter Dakota territory. However, my Mother, still alive, will not support that claim, as she thought Grandpa was sometimes enthusastic with the truth.
The gun's action cycles, but because of the damascs barrel I wouldn't shoot it. It is in good condition for something built about a hundred years ago.
So is there a specific action I need to do to be a member of the Spencer part of this group?
Thank you.
Howard Warriner
