Tell me about it. It was a bit of a shock to me when those faux carbines started becoming valuable enough to forge.

Mine has been nicely restored except for... (are you ready for this?) ...the Buffington sight was affixed to the barrel backwards and the replacement handguard had been cut to fit. *facepalm*


(I've decided that a carbine had better have some pretty unshakable provenance before I'll cross the five bill threshold, otherwise it's just bubba-ized as far as I'm concerned.)
