So I ended up getting a bubba'd mosin nagant from a buddy for $200 with 100 rds of ammo which left me a little play room in my budget. Based on this, I decided to take a gamble with Bud's Guns and order a Carcano M91 TS. Hopefully it will ship later this week or early next week. Looking forward to getting my hands on it and getting it all cleaned up. I'll post some picture when it comes in & I'm sure I will have some questions!
I got the Carcano today. The wood is a little beat up. The bolt and action seem nice. The bore does have some rust in it. I made an electronic bore cleaner, so I ran that for about an hour after cleaning the casmoline out. Was still pretty dirty so I have it filled with evaporust right now. I did a little work to clean the stock. Once it dries out a bit, I will lightly and it and put some finish on it. Looking forward to getting it cleaned up and taking it to the range.
I would steer away from RTI, lots of negative reviews on the guns and poor customer service.
