Title: Re: 1896 Carbine Questions

The action and bolt could use a good cleaning. There appears to be a lot of dirt, debris, and grease. It is hard to detect possible problems under grunge.

The magazine cut-off is missing. This is about a $25.00 part.

FWIW - My rationale on parts value: model 1896 carbine stock with butt-plate & cleaning rods - $400, 1896 carbine hand-guard - $125, carbine barrel-band - $75, carbine saddle-ring & bar -$100 = 600 to 700 Dollars.

For the receiver, bolt, cut-down barrel and sights, add anotherĀ  $200.

Your stock is desirable, so it has good value.

(For a 'shooter', you can get by with just fitting a sight-blade to your present base).
