Re: How do you pronounce "carbine"?
It's rifle, Right?
So what makes it a car-bean? 20" or shorter.
Back in the day a lot of rifles wore 24" tubes,
so the 20" was considered the carbine.
Now most Are 20" so are they carbines the shorter 18" and 16" tubes?
I'm so confused...

Re: How do you pronounce "carbine"?
as to the pronunciation, add me to the Car--bean list .... as to the barrel length, more a matter of how it looks than a set number of inches

Re: How do you pronounce "carbine"?
The words' origins are French, so Europeans go with the bine pronunciation while most Americans go with the bean.
Actually, either is correct.

Re: How do you pronounce "carbine"?
My 20” Model 94 (1911 manufactured) is considered a carbine for that era. Henry considers 20” a rifle, but 16.5” gets my BBSC the carbine designation, while everyone else calls a 16” barrel a “trapper”. It’s all rather subjective.
Oh, and in my mind, it’s bean.

Re: How do you pronounce "carbine"?
U.S Army training films refer to an M1 car-bean. I’m not going to argue with the Drill Sargent.
