Appreciate the input Dave. There were starting to be too many red flags with regards to the carbine, but also with the seller himself. I will be continuing the search for a less questionable example.
Below is my NPM. The blood pressure definitely goes up when you first spot those stake marks :) |

Long chisel marks seen on NPM dovetails are at least reasonably common if not more. No reason for blood pressure medication on this NPM sight or the staking.

Your NPM has fantastic patina and fantastic chisel staking. If I saw that carbine at a gun show, not only would my blood pressure go up, but the hair on the back of my neck would stand up. My NPM has a couple modifications done along time ago.

Great character to that NPM. I will take heavy patina over a spotlessly finished carbine any day.
Love the Union Switch & Signal receiver :) |
