Hi,

dont know exactly what you have but there is also an Carcano Carbine chambered in 7.35mmx52. I added an Link to find the rifle. Maybe it is helpful.

Likely it will be a M-38 Carcano Carbine. They have a fixed 300-metre rear sight, take 6.5x52 Mannlicher-Carcano ammo in 6-round Mannlicher clips.

The special Carcano round has much less diameter than the SkrPatr 94, which is 6.5x55 for the Swedish Mausers. The x55 ammo will not fit into the Carcano chamber, no matter how hard you push!

This thread is ANCIENT! Hope the OP reads this.
