This carbine, also called a “Kammar – Karabiner”, features a large .71 caliber barrel with 12 lands and grooves with deep rifling.

Carbine measures 30” long overall and features a heavy, one piece stock. Stock is unmarked. Wood has been lightly sanded. Old repair to wood behind hammer. Forestock has a 4” long crack, and small section of wood missing. All metal surfaces have a dark olive patina with minor “peppering”. No lockplate markings. Mechanically perfect.

All firearms are described as accurately as possible, given the restraints of a catalog listing length. We want satisfied customers & often "under" describe the weapons.

All firearms are "mechanically perfect" unless noted, but again, are NOT warranted as safe to fire.
