Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I want to sell my original spencer rifle. I always wanted one since I was a kid as a neighbor was a civil war buff and had one. I got it and now it just sits there . I want 1800 shipped and insured. Link to post Share on other sites

BullseyeBaldee 18 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Would have to change block to center fire. I changed mine and shoot it once a year. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Buffalo arms.com sells centerfire ammo for $67 for 20 rounds. I am looking for a source that loads rimfire. Link to post Share on other sites
BullseyeBaldee 18 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 S & S in New York sells everything you need to change it over. Have never found rim fire ammo for it. Link to post Share on other sites

I am looking for a source that loads rimfire. Only rimfire ammo you might find will be original 100 plus year old antiques. Lots of NSSA folks install a center fire breech block and shoot theirs regularly with Black Powder. Starline sells the brass and RCBS makes the best dies. Bullet mould can be had from Accurate Molds. 51-330S or 51-320S work the best. Then you find the OAL the rifle likes. Mine likes an OAL of 1.60" Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 GunBroker.com has some rimfire ammo, about 26 per round Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 I wish someone would buy this from me. I've decided to trim down my collection of historical weapons . After my oldest boy gave me a hard time at his shotgun team practice, I've decided that I have spoiled them and I want to work at fixing that. Trimming my collection may help them realize life won't be so grand after im gone and they divide up my collection. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Feel free to make an offer. A pawn shop offered me 1200 so it must be worth something. Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 15,670 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I would list it over at the Spencer Shooting Society on CAS City. https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php?board=35.0 Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Mike 1,276 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wow, I went to the link and not only is there info on the gun but sources for ammo, including rimfire ammo. A spencer sold for 2450 also is mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites
