Description
03/03/26 - For sale is a Springfield Model 1896 Carbine that was restocked into a Model 1899 stock. The carbine shows the correct features to be a proper carbine of the era.

No provision for a sling loop. The carbine sits in a 1899 stock with no saddle ring or a hole for a sling loop on the bottom.
The bulk of the finish is worn on the carbine, with a couple of parts showing its bluing. The metal has turned a dull grey with patina. The stock is in great shape but the surface has been lightly sanded. The side is dated 1901 with an inspector's stamp. The bore is bright but there rifling is heavily worn and nearly smoothed. There are two heavy rings of pitting about 3-4 inches from the muzzle.
