ORIGINAL 1865 SPENCER SADDLE RING CARBINE MFG. BY BURNSIDE RIFLE Co. PROVINDENCE, RI. AN INDIAN WARS ERA ARMORY CONVERTED TO .50 CALIBER WITH STABLER CUTOFF. ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED EXAMPLE IN REALLY NICE CONDITION. ALL THE NUMBERS ARE CORRECT & MATCHING INCLUDING SERIAL NUMBER ALONG WITH # 63 ON BARREL, FRAME & UNDERSIDE OF FORARM. BARREL HAS TONED TO A PLEASING PLUM BROWN STILL SHOWING BRIGHT ORIGINAL BLUE ON PROTECTED AREAS. THE CASE COLORS ARE VERY RESPECTIBLE AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS. WALNUT STOCKS SHOW NO EVIDENCE OF SANDING WITH WOOD GRAIN PRONOUNCED AND PROUD OF THE METAL. NUMEROUS GOVERMENT INSPECTORS MARKS "T.L.C.", "C","P","M","V","L" ON VARIOUS PARTS. HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO CENTER FIRE UTILIZING THE ORIGINAL BREECH BLOCK AND CAN BE PUT BACK TO ORIGINAL BY SIMPLY REPLACING THE FIRING PIN. PERECT WORKING ORDER. INCLUDES 35 ROUNDS OF NEW SOFT LEAD AMMO AND RCBS DIE SET. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS AN INVESTMENT GRADE SPENCER CARBINE AT A SENSIBLE PRICE. $2500 + shipping. More photos available
