it is also a break open gun with rabbit ears/ hammers. just a very little pitting/ minimal in the rite barrel as we all know that is the barrel that gets shot first and most, then reloaded and shot again when a second shot is not needed. it has two and a half inch chambers. and about 75 percent finish. it closes up just like a CADILLAC DOOR!!. any one have any knoweledge of a ball park figure on them? and no I cannot post picture's of it because my BANG & OLUFSEN won't let me do it. sorry. toot.

Here's a link to the Shotgun World forum and an older post......read down a few posts to get to some into about a Spencer SXS. Not sure if that helps.

I would measure the chamber depth. Chances are they are shorter than 2-3/4", probably 2-9/16".

Chambers are probably 2 1/2 but could be as much as 2 5/8.

Mike116, 2 & 1 half seems to be the norm in these hardware shot guns. although. they have to be measured.
