What kind of Carbines was the 2nd Cavalry issued in the 1850s?

F Trooper mentioned that these were not what the 2nd was issued, but they are still really interesting and I picked one up (less the shoulder stock) Saturday.

We respectively request photos of your new toy.  Original?   I think Dixie had reproductions a few years back, you might be able to score a stock.  It would look nice in a pommel holster.
