Yee Ha!!  I took my .45 Colt Spencer carbine to the range last weekend to see how it ejects after having come back from warranty repair.  Ejection problems are mostly gone buit its still stickly.  I was impressed when I benched it & got a 3 round group in the bull of about 1.75 inches at 50 yeards.

Nice video.  Is that an original Spencer rifle?  What caliber are you shooting, 56/50?  Who's conversion breech black are you using?

Thanks Rich. It was the Armi Sport 56/50 rifle. Working on getting some bullets for my original spencer rifle (52 cal). Will post the range test once the weather warms-up :)

Hi Herbert, thanks for the suggestion. I sovled the feeding problem after I resized the brass...just being lazy of not resizing them during reload  :P

Stay warm....4-sixes  ;)

if you copy the demitions of original cam to armi sports you will notice a much smoother feeding cycle

That was great.  I have broken those sort of targets with my '65 rifle, it has quite a whallop.  And yes, mine feeds better.  The Spencer surely rates at the top of my fun to shoot list.
