1917 Terni 1891

[JTN412]

I'm new to this forum and this will be my first post. Thank you to everyone on here for the wonderful information and cool pics/history/ projects that are posted all the time! Very informative! Anyway.... I made a new purchase recently while browsing the used section in my local gun store. I found a 1891 Carcano long rifle made by Terni in 1917. Picked it up for about $90 bucks. To me it looked a little rough but I found some interesting family history that made me want to buy it (I've had a tough time finding an 1891) and do a little refreshing project to the rifle. My Great Grandfather was a Bersaglieri in the Italian Army during WWI and served on the Italian front fighting against the Austrians in the mountains of Northern Italy (Specifically Monte Zebio in Asiago). I put a picture of him in here also. He was most likely issued an M91. I recently traveled to the area and it was quite interesting to see. So anyway here are some pictures of the rifle and what I'm starting with. Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.
