Rogers & Spencer Army Revolver?
« on: January 13, 2004, 05:46:05 PM »
Anybody own one?  Haven't heard much about them and was wondering if anybody had any experiance with them.  The repos that is.  Looks like an interesting gun.

Do know that the originals were purchased new around the early 1900s and sold for little or nothing as scrap.  Seams they were to late for the civil war.

I have one and love it.  It is, out of the box, the most accurate and most trouble free C&B that I own.  Mine is the EuroArms.

Thanks Wayne, looked interesting and I will probly add it to my wish list.  

I'm still playing with the 62' Pieta police(a fluted 6 shot cylinder, other than that just a short barrled 61' navy), the hand spring broke, shortened it and tempered and recrimped the hand, aparently that spring was overheated in the quench and broke again.  Found out a 60' army hand and spring fits and with a little piening to lengthen the hand times perfectly.  If I'd been paying a gunsmith to do all the work I've done to this gun I'd be into this gun for an extra 2-3 hundred.  Other than that it's my favorite so far!
