I recently bought a Carcano rifle from Royal Tiger Imports advertised as a "Carcano Carbine Model 1891 TS 6.5X52 Second Model". The rifle is dated 1917 and made by Brescia. The rifle has both sling type configurations and the nose cap is configured to use the standard 1891 rifle bayonet instead of the side mounted type. The sights are not those of a shortened long rifle. What model of Carcano do I have? I am pretty certain that they did not produce TS Second Models in 1917. Any help is appreciated. Images attached.
