serial #49107, 50-70, 22'' three-groove barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel retains about 90% arsenal-refurbished blue with areas toning to a mild gray-brown patina under bright light and some light handling marks. The external barrel markings have been lost to the refurbishment though the rear sight retains strong blackened finish and patent markings. The action retains perhaps 75% fine case-hardened colors quite vibrant along the left side and protected areas, the right side toning to a pleasant smoky gray and showing a few mild oxidation speckles. The action markings remain mostly strong and the primer mechanism cover, ejector and a number of the screw heads retain nice fire blue. The smooth walnut stock and forend remain in very fine to near excellent condition retaining most of their arsenal oil finish and showing a small flake along the right edge of the forend and some other scattered light dings. The buttplate retains generous case-hardened colors and the left side of the buttstock bear a crisp ''DFC'' cartouche. The original sights are intact and this example is equipped with the spring-loaded firing pin. The barrel is matching the frame by serial number and also matching the ejector by assembly number ''37''. The lock is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. This is a very fine and attractive example of these desirable cartridge-converted carbine for the US martial collector. (13C11666-31) {ANTIQUE} [Casey Collection]. (3000/5000)
