Royal Tiger has a selection of almost every type of Carcano rifle out of Ethiopia. These Ethiopian rifles have a very interesting history, as they were used in the colonial war and in WWII, but they can be in rough shape. I have an interest in the Italo-Abyssinia war, so I picked up two Carcanos from Ethiopia. They were filthy (dead bug bodies were in one), but they cleaned up alright. The bores even have some rifling left too.

Bought one of those cavalry carbines from classic last week very happy with a nice shiny bright bore and bolt Just soaked the bore in PB blaster for a bit and ran two bore snakes through it and it came out great nicely grooved very shiny very surprised. Stock needed a good degreasing the inside was full of dirt but cleaned up nicely
