    Yes, it is a "transitional" Carbine, and it was manufactured in August of 1936. No, the barrel has not been replaced. The "transitional" style Carbines all fall in the 1111500 - 1129000 serial number range (July 1936 - May 1937), and have a Proof Steel barrel, and the ramp style front sight.

    would there be any increase in price for this carbine over a carbine made right before the transitional carbine,in the same condition? thanks bert, eastbank.

    No, there is not. In fact, the earlier production Carbines are worth slightly more.
