I hope you can come down again after it comes in and your welcome to shoot it! I'd really like to shoot your sten!!That thing is sweet! I can't wait to hear the range report!
Anyone who's a member here is always welcome to shoot anything in my small collection. All I ask is that they use factory ammo.These fine eye candy posts are always wonderful but tend to just fall short....

Patience paid - it was $300 on GB just this year.I envy you that Ruger Spencer....
Holy crap!Patience paid - it was $300 on GB just this year.
Spencer rifle, issued 1863. Original metal, replacement wood, swapped RF breech block for CF. Possibly originally issued to the 72nd Indiana (going by serial number spans), part of Wilder's Lightning Brigade, seeing action throughout the Georgia campaign and Chickamauga.
This one still sees action at reenactments, shooting modified 32 gauge shotgun shells instead of the old No. 56 Spencer round. I have a few 52 caliber BP rounds made up with 358 grain cast lead bullets. Haven't got up the nerve to fire them yet. Cleaning it is MUCH easier than cleaning the Sharps rifle.Not that's what I am taking about! You lucky SOB you scored there! That one is the coolest yet. I love the history and I have a weakness for lever guns.

Agreed! I could never own a gun I couldn't shoot unless it was just unsafe .That's just flat out cool. Glad to here is not just a safe queen too. You won't have any issue selling it if you were inclined either.
