The Spencer 1886 shotgun is a 12-gauge, slide-action repeater weighing 8.1 pounds with a 49-inch overall length. It holds five rounds in an under-barrel magazine and features a semi-pistol grip. While its pump action was decent for the 19th century, it's not smooth by modern standards. Historically, it was popular with market hunters before game laws were enacted.
