Please don't start that stuff all over again!  [GRIN]  It is whatever you want to call it. It is a carbine, and it does have a magazine, so, there you go! At least there is (rationally speaking) no earlier carbine to describe it as being different than, only successors. Stocks are all thin wrist but have two patterns of rod-holes. Extractor is different, gas hole location is different, etc. For a long time it was described as a Model 1896 Carbine (1895 variant). That still works for me. Don't recall what Joe called them, but I don't think it was "Magazine Carbine".
