Neat pic. I have to ask: Is he breech seating that round? I see what appears to be a seating tool laying on the bench near his elbow.
If that's an original, it is in good shape for a carbine. Lots of really nice rifles around, few carbines are pristine.


Warren is shooting fixed ammunition loaded to duplicate the ballistics of the original Frankford Arsenal carbine rounds.

He absolutely, positively, and without question will not breech seat!  He thinks its dangerous.  What you see is Warren's only bench setup.  No fancy stuff for him.

Kudo's to the gent with the trapdoor for using the GI issue musette bag. My dad's is always part of my kit. As far as barrel length? Use whatever trips your trigger!! Cheesy
