Many carbines were made from cut-down rifles or assembled from parts. Many krag rifles were cut-down in the 1920's and some of these are also passed off as carbines and overpriced. When in doubt check the serial number. Call us for a serial number listing, there is also one on the web search under krag, Springfield. Pistols are very complex matter and buying one should only be done after much comparison.
Colts are an object of veneration and can be dramatically priced.
7mm Mauser Rifle was the primary weapon of the Spanish infantry. These rifles fired the advanced rimless 7mm cartridge which was rapidly loaded by means of a 5 round stripper clip. Some '93s have been rechambered for the .308 cartridge but are otherwise unchanged. A short barreled carbine version was used by Spanish cavalry which is distinguished by a front sight flush with the barrel and stock. Although rare, the carbine is priced about the same as the '93 Rifle.
