Yes,Yes, The Triplett & Scott and Spencer. Ok, Johnny it's your turn. The Volcanic is a two week gun, 14 shots, not 7. " Fires all Week " get it, 7 days in a week. 7 shots. Even the movies and some historians can't seem to figure this simple thing out.

Ball Repeating Carbine, Spencer, and Triplett & Scott repeating carbine. Ball repeater came right at the end of the war. The picture shows the Ball on top, Triplett & Scott, and the Spencer on the bottom.

WOULD THE BALL REPEATING CARBINE BE CONSIDERED A WAR TIME FIREARM ? AS IT WAS DELIVERED AFTER THE WAR ENDED . OR IS MY INFO INCORRECT ? :confused:

Yes, The Ball is correct. Good Goin. It was ordered during the war and delivered during war time. No Civil war collection is complete without one. Although most are like new, I had one that was pretty well used with the familiar arc scar in the wood from a sling swivel. Most folks think the war ended at Appomattox, It didn't .........Officially On 20 August 1866, President Andrew Johnson declared the War Between the States officially over and peace restored. How bout that little known factoid, I should have saved that for another question.
