Recent Find Smith carbine

[JackADriscoll]

I bought a smith carbine off of an online auction. I got it for around a thousand and I was pretty sure it was going to be missing a front sight etc. I got it today and it's. Beautiful near mint. Serial 17884. Always wanted one and I finally got a nice one for a great price.

Looks great, and a heck of a bargain at that price!

I'm curious now, why did you think it was going to be missing parts?

Auction house had really poor photography practices

Great looking Smith. A lot of these got sent out west after the war and most you see are in great condition. It not listed in the SRS

That's my guess. I bet it's been fired less than 100 times. Thank you for looking
