Former Confederate Gen. Joe Wheeler carried an R&S during the Spanish-American War (1898).  He was on Teddy's staff.  Wore a regulation U.S. Army grey uniform.  Tropical attire and a whole lot more.

Great pictures, guys.  Love that 'plummy' frame.


Was it still  C&B at that late of date or was it converted?

Good luck. They are 'unobtanium' now except for the occasional raping on GB.

I paid a helluva lot more than that for mine! And that was before Euroarms shut down. Of course, it was unfired.

Yes, thank you G Dog. That was full of information that I hadn't run across before. Now...if someone would only put the Rogers & Spencer back in production.

The Magyar, Balázs Németh of Cap&Ball, does a workman-like job of comparing three of these.  He has an origional, a Pedersoli (Hege ?) and another reproduction.

He does a disassembly / reassembly that's informative.

With a Rogers & Spencer I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

I've not seen that C&B before. Excellent, as usual. Thanks for sharing, G.

The Rogers and Spencer looks like a very interesting gun. How do they shoot?

Mine shoots quite well, Bob. Very accurate like in the video. The hammer has a very different feel from a Colt or Remmy when cocking. Scads of room around the nipples for capping, unlike the Remington. Loading lever/axis pin is weird, like a Spiller & Burr or Whitney...once you get the retaining screw aligned, it all comes out as an assembly.
