[QUOTE="sherrick13, post: 3689907, member: 9406"] Now, I don't think it is original. I can't find any reference to this thing. Including Webster's book. Serial number, all matching, see below, shows an early 1892 manufacture date. (if it is a cut down rifle) [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164817-2201608.jpg[/IMG] It is just over a actual carbine length. Here it is with a Engineer's carbine. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_165853-2201616.jpg[/IMG] Here is the weird part. It is all matching. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164827-2201607.jpg[/IMG] Including the bolt, which is bent. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164837-2201606.jpg[/IMG] Not sure what this stamp is. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164931-2201605.jpg[/IMG] Now check out the front barrel band. Whoever did this, put everything back the way it should be. Including the cleaning rod. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164938-2201604.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_164945-2201602.jpg[/IMG] Definitely looks to be cut. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/20211212_170355-2201619.jpg[/IMG] The way it was done doesn't scream bubba to me. I really wonder what the history is. I guess I'm a weird non standard carbine collector now. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_abused.gif[/IMG] Last year I bought a Jap Type 99 carbine that isn't real either.
