I am in the process of selling a Chiappa Spencer Carbine in .56-50.  Someone told buyer the barrels were bored wrong. I think they are confusing them with the Pietta Smith Carbine.  Anyone hear of a problem with Chiappa Spencer barrels, other than maybe needing a little Loc-Tite?

Hello, Dusty:

Been down that road. 

The question may be more about how to assure a buyer that your barrel performs.

I have had barrels, not repro-Spencer's, that had issues, but shot well; even won medals.  Proof's in the pudding, so to say.
If a prospective buyer is concerned, one way to eliminate doubt would be to supply a test target you shot with all info. Then give the buyer mutually agreed return privledges.  Yes, who can say if a buyer will duplicate your results.  Otherwise, your barrel and chamber would have to be inspected by a qualified gunsmith for internal dimensions.  Even then, that's no guarantee of accuracy.

All the best,
El Supremo/Kevin Tinny

What is the alleged problem with the barrels "bored wrong"?
Ride to the sound of the guns, but watch out for bushwhackers! Godspeed to all in harm's way in the defense of Freedom! God Bless America!
