A rifle according to the number. The only carbine the book shows is down in the 268XXX. That is only one for miles either side. Pics might help though.

[m1903rifle]

That number is pretty far above the accepted range for M1898 carbines. According to SRS records, the range is between 117,000 and 133,000. Anything outside the range should be subject to close scrutiny.
