Attached you can find some pics of my new carbine.
It is a 43 Spanish with a four digits tang number on the 4xxx range. I suppose maybe manufactured during the late 1870s.
It is totally original and with clear rifling, although the barrel have some pits that I suppose to be caused by using corrosive primers during its early life.
I will try to load somo shots and perform some tests in a couple of weeks.
Brgds!
