Dutch Carbine

[Aragorn243]

One of my "list" rifles might be available. I won't get a chance to look at it until Friday. Said to be complete and correct but the bolt does not match. It is a carbine with the hand guard that ends at the bayonet lug. Stock is said to be typical, dinged, dirty. Metal is brown patina to rust needing cleaned with substantial original finish underneath. Dated 1904 Hembrug.

Does not appear to be an Indonesian conversion. No idea if the cartouche is still on the stock. Rifling strong but bore dark.

Anything I should look out for? It does not come with any clips or ammo which while I have found clips, I have not found ammo. It is also missing it's sling. I have only ever handled one of these in the past. I do not believe this one would have originally had the wood cover on the magazine but do not know if they were added to them later. I don't know if this has one or not.
