A lot of union soldiers saved up their pay to buy Spencer's. As a child I was amused by firearms from a scientific standpoint to a mechanical one as well. Thank you guys and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
They made over 106K of them and over 58M rounds of ammo, making the Civil War the most significant war to date using lever-action rifles (Besides WW1, where 200K more Winchesters were shipped to the Russians by the US.)
The troops did not buy Spencers. The bought the Henry as the Spencer was under contract with the government. The big exception was Wilder’s Lightning Brigade. They bought their own Spencers but then were reimbursed by the government.
@@erikschultz7166 Troops very much still bought Spencers, though they were govt. issue. The govt. issue figures are over 106,660 but even more are believed to be bought privately.
Thanks for such a cute presentation of my Great Grandfather's invention. I'm told he demonstrated the rifle to President Lincoln on the WH lawn and the President ordered 10,000 on the spot. Frederick Spencer Taylor
I could have used a few other puns but I figured it might be a little more crass. Nonetheless make sure you always turn the other cheek......Wait I mean way.
I wonder who that strange lookin guy is that lost that rifle. Great video the animations look great especially Homer Simpson making a cameo. Once again glad I could help and have fun in the process
You mentioned my favorite Civil War reenactment rifle, the Springfield. It being a muzzleloader, I used it for Muzzleloader Deer Hunting Season in Ohio where I lived. After seeing your Spencer video, I wished I was in a Union unit that used them.
Another great episode, I was literally reading about the Spencer rifle just a couple of days ago. And FYI, that trick you pulled on Bill about the Jack Daniels truck, would probably work on me to. You guys never disappoint.
Bravo Santee, bravo Any episode with one of your cohorts is great, but take a bow there Mr. Broadway, not only did ya have several of them, but a Spencer rifle 🤠🤠🤠 Never fired one yet but it's on my list
Good day gentleman. This is Ted from Texas. Been watching your show for a few days now and enjoy it a great deal. I have a 1860 Spencer in beautiful condition. I'm currently looking for one of the Repros in 45 Long Colt so I could shoot it with my hand handgun. I love history and love antique firearms. Stay safe and see you in the next video
Not really? US Govt. purchased and issued more in the Civil War than is given credit, and enough of them were made between 1861-66 that the Spencer Company went bankrupt with the lack of new demand, and ammunition was continuously produced into the late 1920s despite no new Spencers being produced since 1869... goes to show production was large, however short.
fantastic rifle, thanks so much Cheese !! Cimarron sells a Spencer in 45 colt, which has always called out to me:-).. it too holds 7 rounds, which makes it full "but*load ready" !!
My grandpa Joseph Frank Reisner 1880-1944 inherent a Spencer rifle but it was stolen in the dirty 30's. Spencer Rifles were a great development of multi shot rifles, though primitive by now, during our War of Southern Rebellion 1861-1865 it was just ahead of it's time.
I always enjoy your videos very much, and I really enjoy the humor. I have learned so much about the old west. The T-Rex is hilarious I love to see him.
I have always been interested in the Spencer rifle, it would be neat to own one, and Bill must have thought so too! I think the Henry rifle would make a great episode too, keep up the great work!
This was one ingenious jump in mechanical technology, especially stacked up against the generally available firearms of the time. You just know some people bought the farm trying to rush a man they thought was in the process of reloading. It even "Looks" like a single shot rifle, especially at a distance...
holy cow, that factory is still there in Boston! it survived a brutal fire that destroyed the neighborhood and baseball stadium(the Braves’s stadium, not that new outlaw league’s stadium nearby) the same factory complex could very well have made pianos for settlers in the old west, they were a common company back then
Thanks Santee & Co . You've produced another on target video , pun intended . The buttload joke had me rolling . In naval jargon a butt is a barrel of water or other potables. To scuttle a butt means to tap a barrell so it can be drunk from . In the age of sail the crew would gather around the scuttled butt and trade talk , hence the term scuttlebbut for small talk and rumors . To a sailors ears a buttload would be a barrel load . By the way , I'm still awaiting your video about boats and watercraft in the Old West period . Steam driven stern paddlewheelers and sidewheelers come to mind , but more common vessels like bullboats , canoes , ferries , and rafts are worth covering . Remember when Josie Wales sent the Redlegs on a Missouri boat ride ?
I remember an old Disney movie about the Spencer repeater and a band of outlaws who were terrorizing a mountain community in the post Civil War period.
@@2wingo It was a movie I watched on Disney in the late sixties about the post Civil War in Tennessee. It wasn't the Scifi movie John Carter. Your condescending attitude is misplaced.
Hey Santee, it is always really cool to see and learn about the weapons in the west. I remember reading about this in School believe it or not. I thought that is was amazing how the type of weapons and how they evolved. Very cool video my friend. 👍. Keep on ROCKING your videos my friend.
The Spencer was an amazing development. I think you could load the Spencer by putting the whole tube into the rifle not just loading it bullet by bullet. That would make sense of the multi tube configurations of the tubes in a pouch. I was also thinking while watching the video, didn't William Muny have one of those in Unforgiven? Then it popped up in the video.
If my memory is correct the Spenser rifle President Lincoln tested is in the Smithsonian. He personally test fired it on the grounds of the Washington monument
Santee I absolutely love your ability to blend the actual wild west history. With modern satire humor. I think you guys do a great job of keeping me entertained and informed. Keep up the great work. I will continue to watch your channel. God bless Captain Pat! Of the Maui Marshals. Sass Badge number 96101. Aloha
The Spencer also saw action during the Modoc Indian War of 1873-1873 inside the Lava Beds at south end of Tule Lake which straddles the Siskiyou/Modoc County line in Northeastern California.
Ah bloopers at the end. Another great video that put a smile on my face. Y'all watch out for Bill though, he's the kind that will get some payback for that nasty trick y'all played on him.
Actually, most of the Spencers featured here are military carbines. There is one photo of a military full stock rifle and civilian models were produced and you can see Clint use one at the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, so he definitely had some experience long before The Unforgiven. You may see this rifle for two seconds when Clint dismounts his horse, the first time he turns Tuco over to the law.
I havent got a chance to shoot one yet but haveing dry cycled one i can absolutely see why the henry/winchester action outsold it once the loading gate was added on the 1866. getting the bolt to push back the hammer in the same motion was clever but also saved you from the in my opinion clunky characteristic of having to cycle then cock or vice versa, its just not ergonomic. That being said for 1860 id certanly be absolutely stoked to have this when the other side was useing muskets
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah it just feels finicky, it sits in the back of your head theres a good chance your going to need to turn the gun a bit to get that case out
I know why my day was just off all day yesterday. I was so busy I didn't see much YT, and I couldn't start my day right because I didn't watch my usual Saturday first vid from you. Well Sunday will be better now because I started with your video. *:-)*

That’s some straight shootin and there goes Santee he’s no dummy. One day 1969 bud weisser truck crashed people were, me too, Picking up in broken bottles driver not happy but too, like 20, many of us, then like 10 minutes till cops came we left with like 10 bottles of beer and some free entertainment
I had a buddy in the navy who grew up around Rutherfordton North Carolina . He told me of the day a beer truck crashed on Interstate 26 in the Saluda Grade in N.C. and everyone around filled up their pickup truck beds with cases of brew .
I have shot one of these...hmm not as smooth as the Winchester but not bad it’s nice wish they added a ring style like for the finger for a better handle on it
I've heard that different types and shapes of men's hats in the old west, could define a lot about them like where they may have been from or the type of work they did. Can you do a show on this and clear any misconception I have on this? Keep up the great work.
What a beautiful old riffle the Spencer is I can imagine how much better and easier it must off been after the old gun powder and ball and all that type of thing lol..

@@SlickSixguns That logic makes sense, but is irrelevant here. 58,000,000 rounds of ammunition were purchased by the US govt. for the Spencer by 1864. They had the ammo. Keep in mind this is a lot, lot more ammunition than a majority of other Civil War ammunition.
