Appears to be a reproduction. I have one. The boss and opening on the latch require a bit of gentle dressing with a file. Just remove the "flashings" and rough edges. Also some white lithium grease on both side of the latch. I shoot with the North-South Skirmish Association. I find the Eras Gone by pure lead bullet sized .518 and 35 grains of 3f to be the most accurate. For skirmishing will need a taller front sight. Most of our targets are at 50 yards.
First Alabama Calvary, USA was armed with Smith Carbines. The unit of a bit under 3000 was made up of pro Union men from North Alabama and served as Sherman's Escort, bodyguard, and scouts on his march to the sea.
Some units of the Imperial Brazilian cavalry used Spencers in the war against paraguayan tyrant Solano López (1864-1870). In the clashes at San Solano and Isla-Tay small numbers of Imperial cavalrymen held away brave and larger but ultimately failed paraguayan mounted charges. Apparently it was so much appreciated that it continued to be used until the 1890s by isolated cavalry companies, despite the adoption of other weapons.
Cool show. These cavalry carbines looks extremely handy for a horseman!
I’m looking for a smith. I think it would make a nice close range deer rifle
Rather under powered.
Slight error: I believe it's called Crampton's instead of Compton's Gap.
@@lawrencemyers3623 you are correct!! Honestly, still getting over the nerves, but they seem to have gotten the best of me on that one!
Years ago I bought a Smith Carbine for $300.00 It needed a screw to hold the hammer in place. I easily found one the Shotgun News.
That is awesome! They are a neat carbine for sure. Now it can be difficult to find parts!
Very cool! Thanks for doing what you do!
Thank you for watching!!
A bit cluncky and awkward but in its day it was a miracle.
It is a bit clunky, but I would take this over a Springfield or Enfield any day!
.56 caliber
Nice I wish they made 1 chambered for 357mag/38 spl
Wouldn’t that be awesome? I know they make a few different calibers in the repros!
