Is it a .45-75?
Teddy Roosevelt carried one, as well as Geronimo. |

Okay, that's the name for it but I want to know WHY they did it? Does the extra wood have a function? |

I'd have to pull out my Madis book, but I believe it was so that it mimicked more traditional military arms and also helped protect the magazine tube. |

Amazing. I'm a serving member of the RCMP, which is of course the evolved name of the same Regiment. I've always been very interested in our history and in particular the arms. It's very rare to see surplussed carbines of the era still in the market, most seem to have been scrapped or are in the collections of various museums around the country. I've managed to obtain only one antique service weapon of my own so far, a Colt New Service revolver in .45 Colt, which I'm informed is from 1919. I would be very fortunate to ever have the opportunity to obtain a Carbine like yours, you are a very lucky man!
