A year ago, Carcano's were everywhere. I wasn't looking for one then. Now that I am looking for one, I can't find any. Seems to happen a lot. Those I have seen the price is sky high from what they were and I don't know if this is a true picture of their worth or just a few guys gouging. I'm still looking. I go to gun shows and check the local flea markets and gun shops and auctions.

I have a cavalry model that I've shot privi out of with no success. Cases look fine but I have yet to figure out where the bullets go once they leave the barrel. The bore looks great and the rifling is crisp. I suspect it is my use of the sights incorrectly. I need to hold the front pin all the way at the bottom of the rear V and I have not yet tried that. It's probably making me shoot way high.
