Luger Model 1902 Carbine
This video delves into the Luger Model 1902 Carbine, a commercially produced pistol-caliber carbine that emerged in the early 20th century. The description highlights the market attempt to create compact carbines from successful self-loading pistols, a trend also seen with manufacturers like Mauser and Mannlicher. Despite its design, the Luger carbine, like its contemporaries, proved to be unpopular due to its cost and ultimately took a long time to sell. The video distinguishes these 1902 models from later carbines made from leftover parts in the 1920s, noting the latter are less refined and prone to counterfeiting.
