i recently bought(surprised me) a 6.5x52 carcano at an online auction. i only paid $50 for it, so it no big loss. i haven't cleaned her, but it does have rifling. the follower and all its parts is in, so all i need is en bloc clips? i had to look up youtube on the working of the safety. other than that, i know own a bubbaed up carcano.
the barrel length is about 21" and the overall length is around 40". i think it is m91/38, but i'm not too sure. i have NO experience with the carcano. anyway terni made it and its serial # is al3XXX. opposite that on the barrel is 1947XVIII. a capitol E is on the action. i looked for the serial # date on my computer and found nothing.
does anybody know if this is a m91/38?
