Spencer center fire

[ken s]

All you history buffs. Did any early gun smiths convert the Rim fire Spencers to center fire like we do today? Ken (who is much too bored to come up with this)

Perhaps I should defer instead to the experts on Cascity's Spencer Shooting Society:

Ken,

Now that you own a 1865 Spencer and will probably acquired another and another, and another.... if you do not already have a copy, you might also treat yourself to a copy of Roy M. Marcot's book Spencer Repeating Firearms (1990) which should provide some answers to many of the other questions you may have concerning your new purchase.

The Spencer shown in the photos below was bought from Lodgewood at one of the recent nationals:
