Dan, The stock does not have a patchbox wihich means it was swapped out by the arsenal at time of conversion. (after the Civil War) The receiver was made in 1863. It was originally a percussion carbine. It is now a 50-70. Being a New model 1859 or New model 1863 is irrelevant.
Mike, Just PM me if you want info on the Carbine. Regards,
