Title: Re: "Headless Cocking-Piece"
Post by butlersrangers on Jul 2^nd, 2019 at 9:17pm

In a 1904 publication, "Ordnance Supply Manual", the model 1896, model 1898, and model 1899 Cocking-Pieces (for carbines) are listed in separate columns (on page 580) with different manufacturing costs (or prices).

This might suggest the model 1899 carbine Cocking-Piece was different.
