John, My apologies with regards to discussing the construction of a modern carbine in the section of the forums. I will try to keep my further discussion "in topic".

Ron, If your still following this thread,

I am curious if you obtained any other accessories with your 1902 carbine. Case, sling, documentation, etc..

Were there any modification performed by previous owners, or is it all original?

Have you ever shot it? If so, what does it feel like? It must be strange to put ones face so close to the operating toggle action.

We're all probably familiar that Teddy Roosevelt & Churchhill owned one of these guns. But what I find more facinating is that many of these carbines ended up in some of the German colonies of that time period.

The movie "Out of Africa" comes to mind. It's easy to imagine a plantation owner carrying one of these carbines on horseback while patroling the estate. Certainly not a "Big Game" rifle, but the multi-shot capability must have proved useful for warding off pests or taking smaller game.

Must have been an interesting time and place to live. Perhaps if your carbine could talk it could speak of such things.
