Don't worry, we won't tell your wife. ;D

I have 2 rifles.

1 original M1860 rifle purchased by/for Capt. Joseph Blackburn of the 5th Tenn Cav. USA

1 NM1868 rifle 56-50 devoid of markings for French Service.,

Two Flints

OK, I've been down-sizing, and sold two of my Spencers, one a .45 Schofield and the other a 56-50, both from Armi Sport via Taylor's.  I still have one .45 Schofield Spencer, 2 original 56-50 Spencer carbines and one 56-50 original Spencer Rifle.  

Ooops, forgot to mention two original Spencer Pump Shotguns.

I think I have enough parts to build another original Spencer rifle or carbine . . .

I have two. One is a repro in .44 Russian, the other is a Burnside M-1865 that I converted into a Sporting Rifle.
I have a lot of original parts and pieces. If I should build up another Spencer, it will be an M-1860 Naval Rifle, but in 56-50 cal.

3 - One Romano Carbine & 2 Armi-sports.  One in 44-40 and one in 56-50.

I would LOVE an original rifle (not carbine)

I own just one original 1860 model carbine. It has a good bore and rifling. With the S&S centerfire block it shoots my homemade bullets very well. I also had great fun shooting blanks with it at the 150th anniversary of Selma. Thanks to all of you that have helped me with this journey.

Two and a half, both Romano's purchased used.  One is a carbine in 45lc, the second is a currently set up as an infantry rifle in 56/50 with its matching carbine barrel and forend next to it in the safe.  ;-)
