I suspect that this is a 1891 rifle that has been cut down to carbine length. The rear sight appears to be a rifle sight. Where, when and why I could not even begin to suggest.

What you have there is a Italian Moschetto TS.

It's an M91/24 in 6.5mm Carcano made from a cut down WW1 era M91 Fucile. Conversion work done at Beretta.

Rifle was originally made at the short-lived Roma arsenal in either 1917 or 1918.

Proper name is the M91/24 Moschetto T.S. where TS= Truppe Speciali.

Hope that helps.
