Lamson & Ball Carbine: Henry Meets Spencer (Sort of)
This video explores the Lamson & Ball repeating carbine, a late Civil War era firearm. It discusses its unique design, which incorporates elements from both the Spencer and Henry rifles, featuring an independent hammer like the Spencer and an under-barrel tube magazine similar to the Henry. The description highlights a significant delay in delivery due to a caliber change from .44 to the .56-50 Spencer cartridge and details the innovative, though potentially wear-prone, two-piece chamber and elevator system.
