16" vs 19" Carbine?

<< < (2/2)

Little Dalton:
Many thanks guys! That gives me a start- although there’s still doubt as to whether the trapper will hold ten. As to shortening the buttstock, I wasn’t planning on doing much at all, and I won’t do it at all if it proves unnecessary. I had heard that the LOP was actually an inch longer (14”) on carbines than the 13” if the rifles, but haven’t confirmed that. 13” on my rifle seems plenty short. The idea of an extra buttstock hasn’t been ruled out, and I also plan on refinishing the stock regardless. I’m leaning towards just getting the 19” carbine.
