RTI m91 carbines...one with tromboncino cut outs

[mnmkeller]

Finally pictures!!!!!

Two of the three are Gardones from the same year but different stamps. The third is a 91/38 that has a split along the bottom of the front sight/bayo assembly hence why the whole thing is pushed back from the muzzle a few inches.

Notice on the darkest one there are cutouts for the grenade launcher. We finally cleaned it over the weekend and it has several cracks that will need glueing to preserve it. It got the wire wheel treatment so Im presuming it came from Ethiopia. Not sure about the other Gardone with the missing chunk from the butt but odds are good. Both had liberal amounts of grease in the bores but there is still rifling in both. We havent cleaned the 91/38 yet.

Dark stock has the lever style bayonet while the other two have buttons. The 91/38 has a different front sight blade which might be routine for the 91/38 but I havent read about it being standard.

Enough talk!!!
