In 1871, Springfield Armory converted approximately 1,108 Burnside-Spencer carbines by fitting the actions with rifle length barrels chambered for .50 Spencer rimfire ammunition with three-groove rifling and adding the Stabler cut-off device. This example had its barrel subsequently shortened, possibly for use out west.
