Gentlemen,
I have a type 38 cavalry carbine that I got from my father in-law. His father "sporterized" it for deer hunting. I have managed to find the correct sights for it but all I could find for a stock was a full rifle stock, but I'm not sure where to cut it to get the right length of barrel sticking out of the stock. Could someone out there with a cavalry carbine take a measurement from the end of the barrel to the forward end of the front barrel band? I know it won't make it original but it will still be a fair to good representation of the rifle like it was when my grandfather in-law brought it home compared to the cut up "sporter" that it is now.
Thanks in advance,
DaveL
