I wish to join the SSS I have an 1865 src converted to a rifle by Springfield. I am installing a centerfire block- follower am having problems.

1) I am having a time figuring out brass. 
2) 50-70 shortened brass won't chamber due to the rim dia being to large.
3) And starline brass will chamber all the way with a little extra room around the case head but won't eject because extractor skips by.
          -No room for thicker extractor. My extractor is thicker than a hack saw blade .0045 to .0028
          - Narrower rim dia lets brass go to one side of receiver half way out of chamber then extractor skips by.
4) turned down 50-70 brass till it chambered and it was  .002 bigger than starline 56-50
5) the rimfire fireing pin has mushroomed the chamber in some but a punch and rattail file have fixed that some.
6) I would like to pull barrel to fix chamber mushroom  with lathe and turn rim diameter so 50-70 brass head fit.
       - thaughts ( I know it's rare but It needs to shoot)
        - I have a highly capable machines to do work
         - I am only cutting .0628 to .0650 on the rim diameter
         - that should let me use bulk starline 50-70 brass shortened. End all the ejection problems.
           -Bore is .509-.510 so a .512 sizer should work figure out bullet mould then figure out trim length for crimp grove then make 300 rounds
7) how the hell dose that barrel unthread. It's soaking in Kroil for a few days befor I try to hard.

Good Day Gentlemen,

I hail from Northern British Columbia up near the Alaska border.  I've wanted to get a Spencer for a long time to use in CAS and possibly for hunting as well.  It's my understanding that the Spencer - especially the reproductions - can be a bit fussy so the plan is to listen, ask questions, and with luck figure a few things out before I decide which model and caliber to buy.

I look forward to participating in the discussions.
