1894 SRS Request

[M1 C FAN]

Would love to find a nice real carbine for a reasonable price for my collection. REAL is the key BUBBA CARBINES are everywhere. Even a BUBBA done right for the right price would be cool. People are asking crazy money for cutup and band-aided creations that THEY WERE TOLD BY GRANDPA was the real deal.

100% with ya. I've been hunting for a nice Bubba trapdoor carbine for a few months now. Thinking I'll work it into a nice Officer's Carbine style.
But yes, even badly done chop jobs are still $500 or so. I can find full length rifles (that I wouldn't dare chop, of course) for around $600. It's crazy!

Thank goodness there are not to many people out there dying to sporterize a nice rifle anymore. the 30/40 has moved to the back of the closet for most people if they have ever heard of one. But there are still those who would CHOP a nice rifle to create a Carbine along with a cool story about some history with the cavalry.

The scary thing is the type of folk that would do that is no longer the type of folk that does decent work.
Not many guys out there doing work like this anymore:

I've shown that carbine a few times on the forum but I love it and love showing it
