Model 1884
Carbine
M84 Carbine, SN452417
MODEL 1884 Carbine with all the appropriate features.
The carbine is cartouched SWP/1889, I think. the last digit is in the
right location for the 9, and has the right orientation. However, it will
take a bright light to be sure. The stock has very few dings and has not
been sanded. There is one filled ding beside the circled P on the
stock. That is the only significant mark in the stock. There are some
color lines across the butt stock, but not damage marks. I consider
this stock to be excellent, for a carbine,
both rich in color and unsanded. The barrel has some blue near the
receiver, but is brown near the muzzle. The strong blue band
around the sight is from a M83 sight cover that must have been in
it for most of its service life.
The lack of a M90 rear sight protector indicates the carbine was not
refurbished for the Sp-Am War. The breech block and
tang retain some of their color case on the outside, and the breech block
has strong color on the underside. The bore on the carbine has
shallow rifling and is in excellent shape. There are no corrosion spots
in the bore, but the bore is not as shiny as expected.
$1875 + S/H.
