Judge Rufus Cornelius Colt #18386 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Does anyone have one of the Spencer's imported by Taylor's in .44-40. If so, are you pleased with it? Are there any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Happy with my 56-50, HOWEVER... the barrel came loose in the middle of a match one time, and I've read about others that did the same. I just kept pressure in the right direction on the fore end and shot it the rest of the match, then cleaned it up good when I got home and put it back on with blue Loktite. When I was looking for a Spencer, I had .44-40 or .44 Russian in mind due to the increased capacity, but several people on various boards would tell me, "Why have a Spencer in anything other than the original chambering?" I went with the 56-50 and have never regretted it... except when I lose a piece of brass... and occasionally having to show a match director that the 56-50 is specifically allowed as a main match gun.
