Good video. I just got blessed with a modern Spencer carbine in 45 Colt. So I'm binge watching videos about the weapon. Thanks for posting this video.

Congratulations on your new Spencer! It is a weapon steeped in Civil War and old west history. A Spencer was carried by George A. Custer, Kit Carson and Liver Eatin' Johnson, just to name a few famous frontiersmen. If you haven't already, you should consider joining the Spencer Shooting Society, tons of info on your repro Spencer. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Wonderful rifle, Oldscout. I have had a couple of the Armi-Sports in .56-50 and would love to have had one "Gemmered."

Thanks for watching and commenting Bill. I just lucked into it, and feel fortunate to be it's current custodian.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Unfortunately, this rifle is unmarked as to the builder. Some of the most sought after conversions have Hawken marked barrels that were done by Gemmer.

Good evening Sir, Very cool rifle from a turbulent time. I was unaware of that (top-of-the-breech-block) style magazine cut-off. Looks like a much better system. I enjoyed the bear trap also. Thank you for posting. ...Doc

Thanks for watching Doc, Spencer got tired of paying Stabler a royalty, so he came up with his own cut-off design. A sharp guy. That is a #6 Newhouse grizzly bear trap that belonged to George's uncle Bill, the bear hunter.

I have an Armi-Sport Carbine in .44-40. Unfortunately it will not chamber my .429 "as cast" bullets that shoot great in my Uberti lever guns, so I have to size them down to .427 with a Lee sizer. The trigger pull is very heavy and the accuracy is not as good as my Uberti lever guns. If I had known beforehand about these problems, I never would have bought an Armi-Sport Spencer. I really enjoy your channel, along with Doc's channel.

They have a lot of info and fixes for the Armi-Sport problems. I shoot .429 bullets in my 44-40 Henry, it's too bad you have to size them down to fit the Spencer's chamber.

howdy oldscout, i was wondering if you are able to share some more on the set trigger on that spencer.

That set trigger was a $5 Spencer option for their relatively rare factory sporting rifle. How it got on this gunsmith created sporting rifle, I have no clue. Not being a trigger expert, I believe this type is referred to as a simple single set trigger or break-over simple pivot. The trigger is not pushed forward to set as in most single set triggers. It has worked perfectly, so I have not had any reason to remove and examine it.
