Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Shooting an original Springfield Spencer rifle

It's been a while since my model 1871 Springfield Spencer rifle got some range time. So today I took it out and made a short video. Check it out, and other antique firearms related videos on my YouTube channel.

Nifty stuff, thanks!

Thanks for sharing that, Steve. Fascinating stuff for all riflecranks.
You must have a great collection of rarities.
I can't find the original rimfire cartridge in Hoyem, but nice chapter (pp.157-171) on the rifle here:





Excerpt for book review purposes. Book review: Great book. I bet Steve has it.

Thanks. Yes that's a great book. It's long been part of my reference library. It's a surprisingly accurate rifle if I do my part.

I wasn't even aware of that model Spencer, let alone the details of it. Thanks for sharing.
