July 3rd, Bert, does have the Type 7 tang marking but was drilled and tapped for a tang sight. I thinking maybe not original but I found it within twenty miles of the factory, who knows.
The last two are the flatband. Take the tang sight off and inspect the upper hole. Still looking for a WCF 94 to come along. I have an early Flatband from It is a and cost about double what a standard 30 cal.
I also have three others. Another 46, a 47, and a I have all three calibers. Flatbands are very common in 30 and 32 calibers, but get a little hard to find in There are several variations of these carbines and I think, I have them all. Hard to say when new stuff is discovered at times. Has the E rear sight and the ramp with hood, front, and the standard, early, carbine stock. Thanks for sharing. Big Larry. I have the two early rifles a and Seems the 94 is a easy gun to collect.
I attached a pic of the Flat band without the Sight attached. I have a minty shipped 32 WS takedown. I have all the calibers between my rifles and carbines. But, I like the M mostly, but the cost on these is prohibitive.
