"Carbine type", could mean a cutdown rifle stock that could be fixed with a new forearm, but with no pics we can only speculate."I have sworn upon the Altar of God, eternity hostility upon all forms of tyranny over the minds of man." - Thomas JeffersonComment

One surefire way to tell... Look at the front of the stock and see if the band retention is a band spring or a pin... also, see if it looks like a plug of different grain wood is present directly under the barrel at the front, which indicates a lightening channel being filled."I was home...
