Has anyone here experimented with that 160gr Steinel ammo? Mine is not a cut down rifle (I don’t think any of the cavalry carbines are, only some...
Thanks, I looked at the Steinel offerings and am not yet ready to pull the trigger on $1.60-1.70 per round plus shipping to arrive who knows when....
The reproduction Carcano en bloc clips don't have a great reputation, let's hope the Numrich ones are the exception. Has anyone been able to find...
I actually did just that plus DK included one with the carbine so I have five total, but I do want to keep them in good shape for the day you...
That butt plate looks a little odd as well, or the wood shrunk a lot in the Ethiopian sun.
One point of order...after a little more digging, I am pretty sure the repair on the right side of the stock of my cavalry carbine is just...
And would it be marked "/24" or is that just collector's terminology? Different question...anybody know a good source for...
As far as I can tell, the cavalry carbines were not made from cut down long rifles, just the TS carbines, is that right?
This is why I need a Berthier carbine, one of the five-shot 1916 models with the cover over the clip slot. ;-)
Thanks, all. I know what's supposed to happen, I was just thinking that those clips are getting expensive and the rifle's not much good without...
Random question...anyone know a trick for keeping the empty clips from falling out of a Carcano? Maybe a cloth or leather strap so they can still...
I like the original 3-shot and 5-shot carbines and I wouldn’t mind one of the tirailleur short rifles, either. I do hear that original en bloc...
I like studying WWI and have only one gun from that era (M1917 refurbished for WWII but originally a WWI gun). I ordered the Carcano as an...
It would be nice if Carcano bashing and the Oswald discussion could move to another thread rather than derailing this one.
I have been doing some digging and found this site to be most useful, especially the pages on model identification and productions changes:...
Well, that’s not terribly helpful, and FWIW when ammo was available before the the current influx of Carcanos drove up demand, it was less than...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] My Carcano arrived today and it’s a little rough but also intriguing. The Terni barrel has the rounded shank of an M1938 but...
As far as I know, all Carcanos are Italian-made. If people stopped buying every brand of gun that has been used in a criminal act, we'd all have...
I agree. I knew ammo was scarce before ordering my rifle. If PPU was willing to make it before, then why wouldn't they or someone else be...
Christmas will start a bit early this year! I just paid $229 to DK Firearms for a Moschetto Modello 1891 (the original 6.5x52mm WWI-era Carcano...
