Now i know what all of these mean but are the actions and all working parts still the same ? regards william K denoted Karbine (shorter), S denotes sporter stock, T denotes thumbhole stock; therefore a KT would be a Karbine with a thumbhole stock. When a HW100 is described as 100S; it is the standard length rifle with a sporter stock. All have the same action but the K versions have a shorter air cylinder. Regards, Steve Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 No, Carbines have a shorter barrel, which is why they are called Carbines (or Karbines in German)! Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 yes mate, the actions are all the same, its just the barrel length and stock design that denotes the various models Darryl Quote Link to post
milegajo 595 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 short rifle, 1580s, from French carabine (Middle French carabin), used of light horsemen and also of the weapon they carried, of uncertain origin, perhaps from Medieval Latin Calabrinus "Calabrian" (i.e., "rifle made in Calabria"). A less-likely theory (Gamillscheg, etc.) connects it to Old French escarrabin "corpse-bearer during the plague," literally (probably) "carrion beetle," said to have been an epithet for archers from Flanders.
