Thanx for the quick answer,
It does however say cal 7.52
Short barrel 22 1/2" from muzzle to breech opening. It also has the bent bolt handle, but it has the 1893 bolt style. (missing the 3rd lug?..)
It has the same serial numbers on the rifle as well as the bolt, so it is original to the weapon, but I cannot find ANY info on the carbine 43...
here are some pics... Thanx again, Marc
