Here is a shot of my 1915 Izhevsk St. Petersburg Calvary School Carbine that I purchased from KH this year. KH provided the pic. I haven't taken any additional photos of it since I received it.

Wow, I don't even want to post pictures of mine after these. Great rifles!

A carbine the Russians hated very much so a few of them survived. The Cossacks would grab a M.95 carbine or stutzen at the first opportunity and discard the M1907.

The first 2 are 27 rv's
The next three are a 27 rv, a St. Petersburg Calvary School Carbine, and a 1907 carbine.

Joe, thanks for the pictures of those GREAT Berdan's

So... it apparently seems that this thread is not limited to Mosin-Nagant carbines. Since jleiper didn't specify... well... I guess everything is in play, right?

1944 Inland M1 Carbine

Rock River Arms Entry Tactical

Argentine M1909 carbine (I think it's a bubba Engineer Carbine)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Cheers,

Beautiful rifles guys!

The M1907 is the official carbine version of the Mosin 1891 rifle. Production of the Cossack and Dragoon version started in 1891 or 1892 depending on who you believe. The Cossack was produced until 1922 and the Dragoon evolved into the 91/30. The carbine version was used for machine gun and artillery troops as well as arming some Cossack units before the Great War. The production of the 1907 terminated at the start of the war and a very few were assembled from parts after the war and are dated 1919.
There are two basic versions of 1907, differing mostly in the calibration of the sights. The sights are small and different from any other model, the closest thing being the sights on the Berdan II carbine. The St Petersburg Cavalry School Carbines are modified Infantry or Dragoon Rifles with M1907 sights. The M1907 has a smaller, tapered barrel shank than any of the other models of MN rifle and are unique. They are also VERY hard to find.

Thanks Joe!!!

 

[capnduane]

OK, so we're not sticking to Mosins.......

This pic was easy to access, Swedish Rolling block carbines, Artillery top, and Cavalry lower. Some original rounds shown and my handloads with Pyrodex.

 

[iwannasee]

M44 and M38 both Izzys 1944.

 

[dtmosin]

oops --- In the pictures listed above that has 3 carbines I had the pictures mislabelled on my computer. The upper carbine is actually a Finnish m/24 carbine which is approximately the same length as the 27 rv but more rare.

 

[David Murvihill]

Only three for me:
1916 Berthier
Kar98a
M1 Carbine

 

[Feldscher]

I like my M38 and M44; but they are nothing to brag about .
However, since it's carbine thread, here is my latest aquisition, GSG-5 .22 cal carbine.

It sure is a fun and cheap way to shoot (the novelty and excitement will probably wear out soon).
