Hello. I have a Spencer carbine, made by Burnside. It has an A in the serial number, does that mean anything. Just not used to seeing that in those guns. Thanks

Are you sure it's an "A" or a misshaped "4"?

Remove the forearm and see if a better readable serial # is found on the underside of the barrel. The serial #s should be the same.

I had a look at the barrel, It is the same serial number 8945 but no A.Close look at the other number, it is defiantly an A
