Carcano M38 Short Rifle-Lots of Pictures

[Patrick Chadwick]

They also have in stock some surplus ammo for US$14- don't know if that's for 15rds boxed w/clips or if it's 20rds w/o clips. I suspect the latter.

I hope neither* - the Carcano ammo came in clips of six rounds, 3 clips in a box = 18 rds! If has indeed been repacked without the clips, then you have a problem. Feeding a Carcano without those clips is a pain. Which is why the clips are worth more than the ammo!

PRVI - Partizan make 6.5mm Carcano cases. Easy to anneal the necks and expand these to 7.5mm. The real problem is the bullets!

* Oh dear! I just checked. That is ammo without the clips. Get a couple of clips or be prepared to get annoyed.
