The Carcano was issued to the Italian forces in 6.5 and 7.35. If you find brass for one it can be reformed into the other with little effort. Bullets are trickery, good luck.

Sounds like the best solution to me, plus I am set up to reload .38 Special. Now to check the price of a chamber reamer.

True it will be the same gun, but even a simple(?) thing like a caliber will make it a different gun to my mind.

I have this Victory in .38 S&W that has been in the family for over 50 years, that was the first time I saw it. My father had it after my grandmother died, he committed suicide with it. I would like...

Thought project so far. Carcano action, Green Mountain 40 cal barrel, form cases from Carcano brass or 303 British.
Thoughts or opinions?
Doesn't seem like a good marketing move. .360 sounds odd to American hunters. A shortened .375 Winchester or a lengthened .40 S&W to meet the size requirements. Both sound powerful and could use...

Not a good idea to use a 22LR barrel for a 22WMR build. Different bore diameters and likely different steels. You can get liners rated for 22WMR.

Borosilicate glass. It is what Pyrex uses in their better stuff, as well as their old stuff. Lab supply house or eBay might have the right size.

Thanks for the suggestion. More searching found that the 400AR is based on the Carcano brass cutoff.

Thank you. You just answered my biggest concern. I am thinking of a .401WSL or a 38-55 rimless on a Carcano action. Carcano cartridge is about the same dimension in the body and rim for either. ...

I was thinking that the bore would be tapered after pushing a button through it. The taper of the existing barrel would give a different degree of spring back along the length of the barrel. The...

Is it possible to make a usable rifled bore this way? I am thinking that the bore would taper because the original barrel would be tapered.
Also looking at relining or rebarreling. Liners seem...

Sam's Club credit card has always worked for me for firearms purchases. Likely will as long as WalMart sells guns.
I used a Lee .44 Mag carbide die and shell holder on a batch of .410, worked for my shotgun.
