    Austrian Model 1850 carbines

    Can someone identify this converted percussion carbine with two stock bands as to which country used it? I know the US bought carbines converted to percussion and had loading rods added under the barrel. The ones I have seen had one band that was often lost as the rod addition eliminated the attaching screw. Could it be Confederate??

    The top carbine is in original tube lock. The second from the top is a tube lock converted to percussion by the Austrians. The third is a carbine converted for the US. The bottom carbine is the one in question with the additional stock band. Thank you.

    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.
