Re: Parkhurst carbine

Thanks for the heads up on S&S, Blueheeler!! I was surprised that they listed the clip as original. I went for it. Can't wait for it to arrive.

As for the finish and what I plan to do. I go back and forth on this issue. For right now, at least, I plan to leave it ...

Re: Parkhurst carbine

Thanks for the input everyone. Here is a close up of " 'shield shaped' escutcheon at the toe of the stock". It looks like a piece of tape. So, yes, likely from a past civilian owner. I am leaving it there, at least for now. It ahs been there a long time and might mean something. To me, it ...

WTB: Original 1899 Carbine Stock and Barrel

I am looking for an original 1899 Krag carbine stock in good or better condition for a carbine I'm restoring. I am not concerned about date stamps as long as the stock is an original unmodified stock in good or better condition. I am also looking for an original unmodified carbine barrel for an 1899...

Parkhurst carbine

So, here is the latest addition to my collection. I was very lucky to stumble upon it and even luckier to be able to acquire it. I have not seen one in real life before.

Thoughts?

Re: .32 ACP?

I have two of these for .32 S&W They are both marked "Marbles USA Model 155" Those are the only markings I see on them. I don't know if they would work for .32 ACP. I have fired .32 S&W from them in a Krag and in a "95 Winchester. Of course, much less recoil. Fun for plinking.
