Cowboy103,
I’m in agreement with you. 
Showing it’s historical use, as it sure can make a mind think about, days gone past, a long time ago!
Sparking that Cowboy imagination!

Sadly no, I bought it the way it is and it was my first carbine, bought it on GB out of Texas from one of the bigger sellers for vintage stuff on there. The stock and forearm match very well in finish and over all wear and tear, so I feel its original and if not was switched out back in the day

Cowboy,
I have a carbine that went to Greenland with the Robert Peary expedition that had rear sight made for it to replace a broken sight out of brass key stock. I would like to add your carbine to my survey of 73’s. They did make carbines with rifle butt plates.

Tony –
Glad you liked it. Here’s one of the receiver (of the one that isn’t nickel plated). By the way, they both letter.
