M91 long rifle

[WASATCH CHARLIE]

[QUOTE=WASATCH CHARLIE;383309]HELLO DOC,
Followed your posts for years on too many sites to disagree with you to point #3.
that is why I said ''original''. 1891

Like all things CARCANO and SKS carbines, just when one Thinks ya got it figured, something pops up

I just saw a model 91, dated on the flat,1929
top flat stamped TERNI
another flat stamped B 9926.
So much for me stating that from the LAST model91 in 1918, no more made until the 1930's short run....

I was in error.....but life goes on !!!

In my previous post, I stated that the model1891 long rifles are found ,dated from 1891 to 1918...... then a small number made in the early 1930s.



As with all things CARCANO, I WAS IN GREVIOUS ERROR!!!!! just a few days ago, I saw a model 1891 ,photos actually, dated on the barrel flat 1929.
on top flat TERNI, and on another barrel flat, B 9926. (serial # )
I hope my error has not caused anyone to run naked,screaming in the streets over the Christmas season....if so I beg forgiveness.

Hello Sir,
I own a Terni 1931. It was a prize rifle awarded to my grandfather in 1932. With brass plate of the contest and silver plate with our family name on it.
Crossed rifles over target etc.
A very fine gun indeed.
And definitely a 1891 long rifle with gain twist.
Probably one of the short run of the early '30s.

Have a good evening and greetings from Italy.

Thank you OVIDIO for your interesting post on your families 91.
With the crossed rifles and nameplate.... it is a classic.

A photo/s otherwise it doesn't exist ...

[Ovidio]

I'll try to get it done. Still don't have much experience with the "tools" of the forum.

[Ovidio]

Well, let's see if I got it done right.......

[Ovidio]

Seems it worked, good.
I'm glad my rifle does exist indeed;-D
It will be published in the future new edition of the '91 book from Ruggero Pettinelli, which will include a section about the prize rifles.
Too bad we don't have the case anymore, but we had to make some concessions to the front passing our home three times in a few weeks back in '44.
I also added a picture of the front sight adjustment tool and the small protective cover that were issued with the rifle.

I wish everybody a good evening.

That is very nice. I'm glad it exists so you could share it with us, thank you.

I never saw a sight adjustment tool for one of these before. How does it work?
