Wow ! Gp, Nice looking rifle. I know you're passionate about the Spencer's as is evidenced by the dedication in making this one talk. That 56-46 bullet is really moving for its day. Enjoyed the Blakeslee Box also, the perfect accessory. You sure ran the table on those sporting clays, nice shooting partner ! Thanks for showcasing your uncommon Spencer.........Doc
She is my favorite Doc. The modern 56-46 centerfire cases only hold 70% of the original rimfire powder charge. That is plenty for dispatching those pesky beer cans and clay pigeons. While driving out to the Hoover's Gap Battlefield ( where the Reb's were first introduced to the Spencer Repeating Rifle) I came across The Blockade Runner Sutlery in Wartrace, Tn. They had this nice repro of a first model Blakeslee box. I used some alphabet stamps to approximate the original lettering on the lid. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gp
@@oldscoutgp I'd like to comment on two things you said. First, I did notice the lettering on the box the first time through and thought how nice it looked, kudos for that customization. Secondly, saying this gun is your favorite, while being understandable, got my thinking which one of mine I would grab in case of a fire.??? There sure is something special about each one. Best regards...Doc
@@dr.durellshepard398 From what you've shared on You Tube, I can see it would be a much more difficult decision for you than me. I'm in my 70's and my kids don't share my passion for old rusty firearms. Sometimes I think of selling a few of them off. I'll pull one out of the safe and remember why I bought it and the trials and tribulations of getting it to shoot and promptly return it to its rack. I bought my first, a lever action Daisy BB gun off a neighborhood kid in 1960. I still have it. Gp
That stock is beautiful. It's great to see you shooting that piece of history and shooting it well too.
Thank you, she's a beauty alright. I rubbed some Renaissance Wax on the stock before I took the pictures.
