Clint, hopefully some guys will come on and say yea or ney


Even if a new made toy, the price seems reasonable to me, if old and not faked, then a very good deal?

John in Montana would know more.

I have seen originals like this...

Looks to me it's a pistol conversion. Real Mauser small ring carbine's magazine well is way wider than that of pistol's, and has much longer connection area between barrel and receiver.

The barrel length is another indicator. Pistol conversion has barrel longer than 16".

Got it figured out,it's a Navy Arms Rework imported in the early 80s. Not worth the money. Thanks for the help guys. Clint

That same carbine seems to be on GB right now...

At the risk of being flamed, I believe Eugene Golubtsov makes these (and others) and occasionally offers them on GB...or rather, he offers to make one for you...
