Spencer Repeating Shotgun

[Elk Hunter]

I had a Spencer when I was a kid. I shot Remington low brass ammo in it, I wouldn't do that now. Traded it off on something, don't remember what, oh how I wish I had kept it. It definitely was an interesting shotgun. Can you imagine the looks on guys faces if you stepped up to the line at a trap range with a Spencer.

I had one years ago, but sold it to a kid at work, because I couldn't stand looking at it. I think it was one of the ugliest pump guns ever created.
I seem to recall that it was NOT made in Windsor, irrespective of it's markings. I am quite sure it was made in Manchester.
Christopher Spencer was my great-grandfather's first cousin.

It is ugly. The top ejection system has to have caused some injuries.

Is it the same company that made the Spencer rifle? I see there is one of those in the Julia auction. " extremely rare one of a kind Spencer/Bannerman pump action sporting rifle"

George you might have something special.

Thanks Rich for the heads up. I just looked. The shotgun has the exact same action and weird top ejection system. I would like to shoot it at the Southern in the new pump action event. But I would want to have someone tell me if it would blow up,
