I'm no expert but from what I see is that the stock is a later one with a butt trap. The original didn't have a butt trap door. I can't quite make out if the hammer serations are like mine, if not that has been changed. That's all I can tell from the photos that doesn't look to be original. Only a hands on could tell if other areas are not right. Maybe Al sees more with the photos. Just to make sure it's not a cut down rifle though, hold a dime over the end of the barrel/muzzle. A carbine 's barrel would be about the dia of a dime on the end. A cut down rifle barrel would be noticable larger and would overhang the dime dia quite a bit. Ray.
