The barrels on the 1898 are different from most, but not all, 1899 carbines. The difference can be identified without disassembly. Dick Hosmer wrote on Jul 27th, 2012 at 4:53am:
Dick that's some weird statistical foo and results in a conclusion based on faulty logic. It'd take a lengthy post to explain why. Quote:
Unaltered 1898 carbines. While my accuracy rate with altered editions is likely respectable it's truly reading tea leaves. JOHN42768 wrote on Jul 28th, 2012 at 11:33pm:
I have some with it on the left and some with it on the right. The marking isn't significant really. The key, and you're seeing it there, is the height of base. Regardless of marking the carbine base can be identified by height. If you found an unmarked base with the correct height it'd clearly be a unmarked carbine base as the rifle base it taller. Height is the determinate. I don't like the finish mismatch on that - receiver/side plate. |
