Chiappa Spencer Rifle?

[tk421991]

Was browsing random gun companies' websites today and I saw this, the Chiappa/Taylor's and Co. 1860/'65 Spencer Rifle. Does it shoot rimfire or centerfire ammo? I can't imagine how it'd shoot rimfire ammo since it hasn't been in production since probably the 1920s.

It's in .45Colt or 56/50 Spencer. The current 56/50 brass is center fire. Unlike other 19th century calibers, the second number is the caliber.

...as well as 44/40 and 45 S&W Schofield.

Starline and Track of the Wolf make the correct brass for the Taylor rifle in 56/50.
