About the Chiappa 1860 Spencer
The Chiappa 1860 Spencer is a reproduction of the famous Civil War-era lever-action repeating carbine. Features the unique buttstock tube magazine feeding 7 rounds. Available in period-correct .56-50 Spencer and modern .45 Colt.
The Spencer was the first militarily successful repeating rifle, used extensively by Union cavalry in the Civil War. Its 7-round firepower gave Spencer-equipped units a decisive advantage over muzzle-loading opponents.
