I just added a new addition to my family. I've always wanted a Rogers & Spencer but never got around to picking one up. It's one of those that always got continually bumped down the list in favor of Colts and Remmys etc. I have much admired them though and thought they were really interesting and neat pistols. Plus I've heard good things about the design improvements and have very much wanted to own one and shoot one.
Well, thanks to arcticap who noticed that I briefly mentioned wanting one in one of my posts, he generously offered me a fantastic deal on one he had picked up at an auction! I jumped to say the least. This one was made in 1984 by the stamp. I took her apart, cleaned her up and added new nipples that I bought from Track along with a little help from mykeal in determing the correct versions to purchase. The bore is perfect, bright and shiny and I don't think the pistol has ever been shot.
The Rogers & Spencer is a REALLY cool pistol and quite a neat combination of design improvements over the other brands and models of cap and ball pistols. Can't wait to get this old girl out and shoot her.
Took this quick picture on my phone with the Colt Army and stainless Remmy. What a fantastic addition to my .44s!
