Carbines, Carbines, Carbines...

Was bored yesterday - not really - but thought a group of carbines might usher in spring a little faster. Got to love these little guys. Little, but pack a punch

Those look like they were born to kill. How many rounds mag. is the Argentine '91?

Here's my Swedish 1901 CG m94/14 wearing an m/14 bayonet. I know there are fireball lovers on a Mosin forum, this Mauser wouldn't disappoint you.

Sweet. A real beauty! Amazing the bayonets on these things... How can a soldier compete with a bayonet on a carbine? Just add a sword! I couldn't pass up the oak stock on this one when I first saw it. Very uncommon...

Very cool! A lot to like about the shorties. I'm not sure I've seen that Spanish one before. Very nice crest on it!

No screen time for the Engineers carbine?

[TulaTom]

Love the unit disk, Sheepdog!

[Lotema]

Spanish FR-8

I should have included mine but I think I'm going to sell it. These are powerful little shoulder cannons...

It's not oak it's elm, and yes you don't see many of those on carbines. The Swedes tried several different species of wood when European walnut dried up during WWI. American black walnut, elm, maple, mahogany, and red beech but never oak.

I beg to differ with you unless Kehaya and Poyer don't know what they are talking about in The Swedish Mauser Rifles, 3rd Edition, during the years of 1916-1918 Beech, Ash, Maple, Walnut and Elm or Oak were used, although Elm and Oak are rare. I've seen a number of Elm stocks and this does not appear to be Elm but, rather, oak.

Trust me your stock is elm. Kehaya and Poyer's book is so full of errors it's not worth the paper it's written on. That's why people can't sell their book for $15 on Ebay. My source is the bible of collecting Swedish Mausers, Crown Jewels by Dana Jones. It states ash and oak were thought to have been used but have never been positively identified. Another site you can peruse is Dutchman's House of Karlina which never mentions oak as a stock wood.

You can also go to Gunboards, the Swedish military section and mention the Kehaya and Poyer book. It's often mentioned but never more than once and never cited.
