.44-40 SPencer update

[Tuolumne Lawman]

Howdy to the camp,

If I decide to keep the Henry instead of the 44-40 Spencer (My 56-50 Infantry rifle is enroute), I can't remember who I said I would give first dibbs on it too?  Yankee Bandit? Major? Dakota Widow Maker?  Ugh!  "Oldtimers disease" strikes again!

I haven't made up my mind yet, as the Taurus Thunderbolt will be my speed rifle.  I just don't know how much I would use the 44-40 Spencer having a 56-50 Infantry rifle <g>, so I will probably sell iot after I do the photos for the Cowboy Chronicle article.

Tuolumne,

I have been looking on the Taylor site and have not found any of the Spencers in 44-40 did you get the only one?

Howdy pard,

Don't know how I missed your post.  Last I checked, the websight had not been updated.  Call them.  They had them last time I talked to them.

I had one of the 44/40s carbines   in my hands at Taylors booth at mulecamp. They also had a carbine  in 56/50  and the rifle was supposedly available. Sweet,no more twin extractors. I will probably hold out for the 56/50 rifle since I occasionally do a naval impression.

Howdy,

I have the Taylor's 56-50 rifle version and love it.  Heavy trigger (about 6-7 lbs), but fun to shoot!

Tuolumne,

Thanks for the update, unfortanutly I just found a replacement for the original 73, a 92 take down, so now I will have to save up again.  But that is most of the fun.  Thanks again.
