My first Carcano

[boristhepig]

Hi
Having owned a M38 bayonet 10 clips and other assorted Italian equipment for a number of years i now finally have a rifle. The Carcano is a rare rifle in the UK and seldom seem to come up for sale so couldn't miss the opportunity to by this one. I believe its a Carcano M38 short rifle in 6.5 made by Terni and dated 1941, the number on the stock matches the action the bore is excellent and appears to have had little use, I assume this rifle was reconditioned after the War ? as it has so much finish on it. It is stamped DAV on the stock there is also a C stamped on the top of the stock if these marks mean something to someone. The bolt operates much smother than I excepted and all round the rifle exceeds my expectations, even had a 3 piece cleaning rod in the butt stock I look forward to hopefully taking it to the range next week.
