Curious though while we’re talking carbines, why does my 1899 school rifle have a carbine stamped rear sight on it? Also has the humped handguard. And of course the milled bbl for the bayonet. Was it originally a carbine that was restocked into a school rifle as opposed to a cut down rifle? Do I have a carbine in sheep’s clothing?
