I can't put my finger on it, but the front of the stock doesn't look quite right to me. Might just be the camera angle.

Any thoughts?

Seems reasonable if in fact an original carbine.

  I wouldn't be putting much faith in the accuracy of the description, notwithstanding the stock. When he describes it as "mint" and shows a photo of the side of the receiver that is obviously pitted you just know that it is phoney as a 3 dollar bill.

  The top wood handguard looks replaced. I also don't like the angle of the forestock, either, but maybe it's the angle. Poor pics.

  The angle of the fore end looks OK to me, but I prefer photos that are in focus.
  
  The stock looks refinished to me; note the oil stains in the cut areas.
  
  I'd be concerned by his optimistic description, the fact that the seller is new to GB, & the gun is sold AS IS. One person's "dull" bore is another's "pitted sewer pipe".

  The tip of the forend looks like a different piece of wood. I have seen this where a rifle stock is cut at the band and a NEW piece is added to erase the slot for the cleaning rod. IMOH
