1902 Carbine

I had the opportunity to buy Carbine number 50044 about 18 years ago. We had a new baby and a new house at the time and could not come up with the 3500 required for the purchase. The carbine was missing the stock, but it was still a good deal in my view. Condition was about 95% and it did not appear to have been shot very much. It was in 9mm. Sure wish that I had been able to come up with the money but that's the way it goes sometimes.

This Carbine had shown up in a local gunstore that has since gone out of business. Someone else got it later on and it was later stolen at a gun show. I never did hear if it was recovered or not. I believe it was listed in the Automag as stolen. Someone that has these issues from that time frame may be able to get a little more info about the piece.
