Hello, Sid. If you still want to reload that Spencer carbine, without going to the trouble of fitting a replacement center-fire block to it, there IS a way. Dixie Gun Works sells empty brass spencer shells with an off-set .22 chamber. You use .22 short with bullet removed. This is the primer..spencer pin hits .22 rim. Load case with black powder & bullet. They make these things in .44 Henry also I think. Best of luck!
