Gunshow find! A private seller had an unmarked rifle on the rack for $90, I asked, he had to ask his partner and the people in the booth next to him to figure out it's a 6.5 Carcano. He'd had the thing in the rack for years.
I walked around, came back--long story short, I got a sporterized Carcano M1891 (I think!) for $50.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Pictures up when I can get to a camera.
Needs some cleaning and the trigger guard/magazine assembly, and I'm clueless on places to get the parts, ID the gun further, figure out just when it was made, the function aside from the basic bolt-action, standard load weight, where to get ammo, etc.
Some of you more educated guys, fill me in?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
EDIT: Ammo--I'm a reloader, and high ammo cost squicks me. What else can I form down?
