    Carcano Marksman Build?

    Hi all, I have recently just picked up an M38 Carcano and I am looking to do a vintage-style build with it. I want it to look like a replica of the infamous oswald rifle, but obviously without spending the money on the real deal. Has anybody tried doing this? If so what parts did you use on the scope and the mount and how did you set it up? Pictures are a plus just so I can get an idea. If anybody could send me in the right direction as to where I should get started that would be very helpful. Thank you all!

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Wyatt, There are many replicas out there. A google search will give you lots of info. Here is a thread on this forum that will be a good start: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread....oswald+carcano
    The hard part will be finding the Ordnance Optics scope and mount, but they do come up on EBAY.

    Also try a V bulletin search in the upper right corner of this page to search this Forum site for old threads.

    Did you ever find a scope and mount ? I'm looking also.
