Harve Curry 1881 Marlin made in 1886 and a Spencer 1865 carbine.

You can find rimfire ammo for the Spencer? Or did you convert it to CF?

When I had a SPencer it cost me $25 for one shot. But it was worth it.


Yes , the Spencer design lends itself to a easy conversion to a center fire breech block replacement. the cut down50-70 brass and some .520" 350gr bullets cast from a Rapine mold.
 
My grandfather's Winchester 1894 in 30 WCF built in 1899.
I also have his reloading tools.

It shoots just fine. I use it in rotation with other inherited hunting rifles, moving on to another when I get a deer with one of them.

I use an 1889 Marlin in 32-20, made in 1893. The 1891 made 45-70 TD Springfield gets used too. S&W No.1 Second Model (1859) on occasion when pocket pistol is needed.

For the long guns the oldest one in the case is a 1978 production Win 30-30.
