Hello all
Thought I would share my recent find with you. I visited my local gun shop & discovered an 1856 Spencer Carbine on display. A man living in our county was tearing down an old barn on his grandfathers farm, that had been damaged by a tornado in 06. They were going to just burn it down, but with the price of wood these days he started to dismantle it. While he was removing the tac room floor he found this rifle wrapped in cloth. I personnaly called the guy and got his story, our county was occupied by union troops during the civil war. The outside of the rifle is a little rough but the inside is pretty darn good, it would still fire if a person could find rounds.
Thanks for reading
Curt
