Fell off the wagon with a K-31 and Argentine Mauser

So mine is simply an 1891 carbine?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Yours appears to be a "Cavalry carbine".

The 1891 Argentine icon

"Engineers''s carbine" looks like this

There was no conventional stocked 1891 carbine AFAIK...both of the '91's had the full length stock.

The apparent arsenal repairs on the stock of mine seem to indicate it was configured lik the one in the link at some point. I learn somthing new each time I visit. Thanks
Let us know when your "package" is delivered by santa in a brown suit.
I would have paid $160 for that one. Liberty Tree has some interesting stuff.

I'll post better pics, description and a range report when it arrives.

The Liberty Tree auction rifle was missing the bolt.

Did not notice that. I do have a spare bolt body. I have a bad habit of bringing home "shelter pet milsurps".

I think I would fall off the wagon for a Argentine icon

Mauser like that and the K-31 is milsurps crack.

The picture is of an 1891 carbine, not a 1909.

Hoping the guy with the 1891 Argie engineers carbine is at the gun show tomorrow. Should have bought it last weekend. It'll be coming home with me if its still there!

Hope so. Let us know.

I fall off the wagon about once a month.
Here are the 1891 cavalry and engineer's carbine side by side.

I recently read a post lamenting the fact? that the engineer's carbine had the "junk" (bayo lug and different swivels) added onto the sweet lines of the cavalry carbine.
I am happy to have them both, even though the cavalry carbine has been sanded/polished
