Best way to glue shipping damage
-
Can I asked is there insurance for the items by the handler as that is pretty sad to have two firearms damaged in such a way.
-
Easy repair using the correct WOOD glue, clamped for 24 hours. Next day, strengthen by using 2 turned oak dowels along the line of the break, glued and knocked in. Will last another lifetime. Done loads of them.

The auction house is going to make it right these were pick up to supplement my parts supply that i sell at gun shows. The other rifle in box M95 was fine. Was really wanting to put Carcano back in order never saw one like it. Will get some more Pictures latter on .
Thanks Guys

Carcano has a sporterized stock so not much good for parts anyway. Looks like a Type I that is missing it's floor plate. Not Italian but Japanese. Italian made. Parts are more valuable if that's what it is.
I also see what appears to be the standard Japanese split stock.

Were there tire tracks on the exterior of the box? I would like to know who the shipping company was if you care to divulge . Even if they were not properly packaged that damage seems extreme.

Sticking with the Type I theory. Looks like the took the rear sight off the barrel and tapped it for a civilian peep type sight. Not worth restoring, too costly plus the drilled hole in the receiver for the sight.
Caliber is 6.5 Arisaka, not 6.5 Carcano.
Very few if any parts are interchangeable with the Italian versions. Bolts are different, close but they don't fit.

I have bought off this company alot this was first time having multiple firearms shipped in same box getting damaged. the brown truck might have road over it. Company is making good between us. but brown said it was not shipped in original box so not there fault.
Steve i just wanted this one for a shooter for the kids so might give it a whirl an put it back to shooting shape. will cast bore to make sure what it is.

Reminds me of the Sampsonite luggage commercial with the Gorillia baggage handler.
