At best it's flat-out not true, and at worst the average skill difference isn't nearly enough to explain the average wage gap, unless women spend every evaluation meeting throwing handfuls of shit at their bosses. As we alluded to earlier,, and their value to their employers plummets accordingly when they demonstrate it. Sure, as long as they're not 'assertive' -- here meaning 'as long as they don't speak in a way that might get attention.' Magic views bot cracked games pc. So should women speak up about this? Assertive men can be looked down on too, but not nearly as much.

3.) Returns from the 5th Company of Independent Ohio Vol. Sharpshooters show Spencer Rifle number 10273 in the company on Aug. Up to that date, Ordinance Department records show that only 8205 had been delivered, including both the Army and Navy orders. It is known that Spencer M-1863 serial numbers start with 1 on the Navy contract. Hello, just joined up and have a question about ( 2 ) 1860 Spencer Carbines. I would like any information about these carbines history that you could provide: serial #8573 and #8574.

Original Item: Only One Available. The serial number 22733 of this wonderful Spencer repeating rifle is in the range of Spencer rifles that were issued during the U.S.

Probably no one weapon of the US Civil War is more representative of the overwhelming force of industry and technology brought to bear by the North against the South than the US M-1860 series of rifles & carbines known more commonly simply as the Spencer. While the standard cavalry arm of the pre-Civil War era, the single-shot, breech-loading percussion carbine was still in heavy use through the closing days of the war, the era of the repeating metallic cartridge carbine was firmly established by the end of 1863. The horizontal shot tower, as some affectionately referred to the Spencer Rifle, was in essence the original assault rifle. While the Henry Rifle offered more shots in the magazine, the.44RF Henry round was essentially the ballistic equal to a pistol cartridge. The.52 caliber 56-56 RF Spencer round was much more comparable to a real service rifle load and delivered far greater downrange stopping power.

The Spencer was also very fast to reload, with a 7 round tubular magazine that fed through the buttstock, soldiers could carry pre-loaded magazine tubes and changes magazines almost as quickly as today’s shooter exchanges them on a modern magazine fed rifle or pistol. While the Spencer shooter did have to manually cock the hammer for each shot (the Henry had a speed advantage here, since the toggle action that operated the bolt to eject and load a new round also cocked the hammer), the robust design and powerful cartridge combined to make it the most prized and most feared long arm of the American Civil War. 11,470 of the Spencer military rifles were delivered to the US military between 1863 and 1865, and nearly five times that many carbines saw service as well. The rifles were produced in to fairly specific serial number ranges, with the early order being found in the 700 to 11,000 range and a later order found mostly in the 22,000 to 24,000 range. A handful of rifles were intermixed in the serial number ranges of the carbines, but the large majority of rifles extant exist in these two specific ranges.

The 30 barreled, 3 band rifle was designed to take US angular socket bayonet which was almost identical to the standard US M-1855 socket bayonet, although it has a slightly larger socket diameter and is completely unmarked. The rifles were the first of the Spencer repeaters ordered by the Ordnance Department and were the first Spencer’s to see service in the field. While no Spencer carbines were in the field at the time of the battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), the 5th Michigan cavalry (part of Custer’s brigade) was armed with the Spencer Army rifle and used them very effectively on July 3 against General J.E.B. Stuart’s cavalry. Spencer rifles also saw significant service in the Western Theater, most notably by Colonel Wilder’s Lighting Brigade of mounted infantry. Wilder was so impressed with the Spencer that he arranged financing to purchase enough Spencer’s to outfit his entire brigade, and allowed the men to purchase their own rifles on credit, with the cost of the guns deducted from their pay over time.

Wilder’s confidence in the weapon was well founded, but his willingness to risk financial ruin by personally guaranteeing the loan to purchase the weapons truly underlines how confident he was in their success. This is a NEAR FINE example of the US M-1860 Spencer Army Rifle.

The gun is in complete and 100% original condition. The gun is in its original Civil War configuration and has none of the post war modifications or alterations that were made to some of the Spencer rifles. The action works perfectly, with the lever cycling the action smoothly and the extractor working exactly as it should.
