This Website will answer any question on Springfield 1873- http://www.trapdoorcollector.com/ A quick answer is the barrel on a carbine is shortened for cavalry use.
m-4 is shorter and used in urban settings
The M4 carbine is a shorter and lighter variant of the M16A2 assault rifle. The M4 is a 5.56×45mm NATO, air-cooled, direct impingement gas-operated, magazine-fed carbine. It has a 14.5 in barrel and is 33 inches long.. It weighs 6.5 lbs.
A carbine has a shorter barrel than a standard rifle. I have a Winchester model 70 carbine in 270 win and there isn't really any difference between the 20 inch barrel and that of my Brother in law's standard length 24 inch barrel, performance wise.
For Range the M1Garand is better, but for close quarters and compact-ability the M1/M1A1 Carbine is better. It's the difference between cartridge's M1 garand is in 30-06, and the M1/M1A1 carbine is in 30 carbine, which is designed for close range shooting
The M1A1 Carbine was an American semi-automatic, gas operated, magazine fed, shoulder weapon designed as a modified varient of the standard M1 Carbine, the difference between the two models is that the M1A1 has a retractable steel wire stock, making it more compact and lighter than the M1 Carbine, while the M1 Carbine had a standard solid wood rifle stock. The M1A1 was issued primarily to American Army paratroopers in Europe due to its light weight, compact wire stock. The M1A1 was fed from a detachable box magazine that contained 15 .30 carbine cartridges, the same as the regular M1 Carbine.
The model 336 is the regular rifle,the model 336C was the carbine version,and the 336CS was the carbine sporter edition.
The value of your Model 54 Winchester Carbine will depend on the condition. There are reports of sales of between 800.00-1000.00.
Depends on which carbine. No one carbine, no one answer.
