Thats is about right ( c 18 bore ) for many commercial carbines of the 1840s/ 50s produced for sale to Indian Irregular Cavalry units .

Marcus, Read the rules! We do not discuss evaluations on this forum.

They are not usually as valuable as the strightforward Brtish Army issue equivalents even though they may be rarer , they are not as desirable. I have no idea how much your carbine is worth , sorry.

I don't think we can discuss appraisals in here

oops sorry Fernando

Still, this carbine has more estetic value to me than hard cash so a nice adition indeed

Hello everyone:

1 - This is a model 1796 carbine for Heavy Dragoons, transport rodless side, and two rings for transport, one in the head and the other on the forearm and barrel .65 caliber 46 "
2 - Obviously, the key (lock) has all the original records.
3 - The remains of inscriptions on the gun (barrel) are GR surmounted and the broad arrow (denoting the property of the Crown), and crossed and crowned scepters (Test Bank Tower)
4 - Conversion to percussion has still made by a gunsmith particular. It denotes the replacement cylinder head bolt (breech plug), and its replacement by a screw with fireplace (nipple). Also, the hammer is very elaborate.
5 - The stick is fixed to retrofit. The carriage is made of bronze or brass, and runs through a square cube, instead of a round ring.

Sorry for the translator ...

Fernando , excuse my query , but which gun are you referring to here ?

Hello:

I must correct myself: maybe try Paget carbine, 1812, which incorporated a slide lock, mounted in half (half cock)
