A very good condition Model 1865 Spencer Repeating Carbine, one of the best we have seen in some time. It shows honest wear consistent with service and well stored since.

The Spencer factory manufactured nearly 23,000 M1865 Spencer carbines, of which 12,502 were equipped with the Stabler cut-off. In the post-war period, Springfield Armory retrofitted about 12,000 M1860s to incorporate M1865 features. The .56-50-cal. M1865 Spencer carbines manufactured by the Burnside Rifle Co. and the Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces with 20-inch barrels, and they had an overall length of 37 inches.

One of the best examples we have seen. The magazine tube removes easily and is in good condition.  An iconic weapon, with great finish and near mint bore. Perfect for any collection, and ready to display!
