Not sure if these are somewhere here in the archives, but a Danish friend discovered he had this manual in his library:



With this drawing of the .56-56 Spencer cartridge as manufactured in 1864 and 1865  for Model 1860 Spencers.

Most of these 'Ordnance Memoranda' pamphlets have been reprinted heavily - starting in the late 1960's.

They're pretty interesting, all in all.

Great info, thanks:

WOW.
Any suggested sources for reprints?

AND perhaps a few more photo's of 56-56/50 pages, please?

Most appreciative.  El Supremo/Kevin Tinny

Pay attention to that soft voice in your head.

Kenny, if my Danish chum uploads anything more that is Spencer-related, I will copy and paste here.
