The rifle was purchased from a chap in Alberta, from whom I have bought at least 3 Carcanos now......this being the only one in this MS caliber. It came with a Weaver side mount and offset rings that pretty much put the scope center in line with the center of the bore. Someone obviously did some customizing as the bluing is pretty much like new and it came with double set gold plated triggers and a virtually new barrel. I finally got it scoped and to the range and after some bore sighting and preliminary shots placed four 140 gr partition bullets into a 1.2" circle at 100 yards. I was thrilled with this first outing and will fine tune this wee beauty for longer ranges (sighting at 200 yd) over the next two weeks. I believe the barrel is Austrian and installed in 1988....I have a Kragicon in .308 Win with an almost identical looking barrel marked Special Bohler Steel Austriaicon 1988 as well that is described in another post.
    I had read a lot of bad, condescending and outright untruths about Carcano rifles but this one trashes nearly all of the nasty things I have read. They were right about the ugly next to useless iron sights and homely stock of the "Eaton's" sporters but dead wrong on the issues of the action strength and barrel quality. The action is very smooth, not quite like a Norwegianicon Krag, but better than that of the last new Remington I bought. It's been a good week having done the first sighting in of this and other old rifles and figuring out how to upload pics......an old dog has learned a new trick! I am going to scope several other Carcanos in 6.5x52mm over the fall between hunting trips. I practiced on a parts gun Carcano that I bought primarily for the 6.5x54 MS barrel and it turned out pretty good. I will need to do some bolt handle bending as well to clear the scopes but it will bring new functional worth to these much falsely maligned sporters. Just maybe they will shoot nearly as well as this one.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    It's a clip, not a magazine unless you actually do need the magazine but both can be found on ebay on a regular basis. Clips run anywhere from $6-$12 each. Try to get originals, not repros as the repros are said to not work right. For the magazine, search under trigger guard.

    Hello I'm a new member, I have a lovely Cooey/Carcano 6.5x54 MS that I'm looking for a parts Cooey Carcano gun or barreled action with a good working double set trigger working on it someone has been into the trigger( where it goes into the trigger sear on the receiver ) and set units with a dermal and screwed it. I have a single for it and I would like to replace it with the double set trigger as it was made.

    I'm LOOKING FOR A PARTS GUN OR BARRELED ACTION IN A EATONS COOEY / CARCANO 6.5 X 54 M.S. WITH DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS .
    THE SET TRIGGERS AND TRIGGER SHEAR MUST BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, THE CONDITION OF THE REST OF THE RIFLE DOESN'T MATTER.

    SOMEONE HAS SCREWED WITH THE SET TRIGGER ON MINE , IT ONLY WORKS AS A SINGLE TRIGGER .

    I'm ALSO LOOKING FOR THE OFF SET SCOPE RINGS, I HAVE THE BASE TO RIFLE MOUNT.

    THANKS
