Warden Callaway Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 They are just archive crazy around here. I was going to add this to the topic from before but it's already gone. Anyway, I got around to shooting my Rogers and Spencer on Black Powder Friday. I've not shot it in a match. I'm so clumsy with it. May just take it and shoot one stage just to say I did.
Trailrider #896 Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 Very similar to the Spiller & Burr, which was a Confederate copy of the Whitney Navy, both .36 caliber. The Rogers & Spencer (at least the replica) was in .44 caliber. Spiller & Burr replica is the most accurate cap & ball revolver I've ever fired. Used a .380" ball.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 A very interesting gun. Like the 58 Remington, you can quick change the cylinders if you want to. And, they are rather easy to cartridge convert. The hammer is "strange" in some ways. To me, it almost feels like you are pulling the hammer straight back and not rotating it back and downwards. The conversion is .45 Colt. I have fired it a few times, but I've never used it in a match, yet.
Warden Callaway Posted December 3, 2022 Author Posted December 3, 2022 Interesting. 5 or 6 rounds? Is there a way to make it a gated conversation? Who sells the cylinder?
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Six rounds. I got the gun used, as is, so the cylinder came with it. In fact, there was no C&B cylinder. Looking at it, I guess you could get a Remington style gated ring, but the cylinder would have to be shaved quite a bit for it to fit.
