carcano
Carcano is the frequently used name for a series of Italian bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating military rifles and carbines. Introduced in 1891, this rifle was chambered for the rimless 6.5×52mm Carcano cartridge (Cartuccia Modello 1895). It was developed by the chief technician Salvatore Carcano at the Turin Army Arsenal in 1890 and called the Modello (model) 91 or simply M91. Successively replacing the previous Vetterli-Vitali rifles and carbines in 10.35×47mmR, it was produced from 1892 to 1945. The M91 was used in both rifle (fucile) and carbine (moschetto) form by most Italian troops during the First World War and by Italian and some German forces during the Second World War. The rifle was also used during the Winter War by Finland, and again by regular and irregular forces in Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria during various postwar conflicts in those countries.
The Type I Carcano rifle was produced by Italy for the Japanese Empire prior to World War II. After the invasion of China, all Arisaka production was required for use of the Imperial Army, so the Imperial Navy contracted with Italy for this weapon in 1937. The Type I is based on the Type 38 rifle and uses a Carcano action, but retains the Arisaka/Mauser type 5-round box magazine. The Type I was used primarily by Japanese Imperial Naval Forces and was chambered for the Japanese 6.5×50mm Arisaka cartridge. Approximately 60,000 Type I rifles were produced by Italian arsenals for Japan.

This rifle is in good condition with a lot of bluing. I’ve gotten some decent accuracy out of this rifle and even if you miss there’s always the folding bayonet to get the job done! Regardless, a cool rifle that really isn’t that expensive compared to other milsurps and a lot of fun to shoot...
M38 CARCANO SHORT RIFLE 7.35X51. Beretta marked. Bought during the pandemic in 2020 when it was impossible to find anything, but milsurps aren't really my thing. Bought it, put in the safe and haven't ever touched it.
1891 Carcano Carbine Caliber 6.5x52 with 34rds ammo & 3 en-bloc clips - $300 OBO.
Condition is as pictured. Per the markings I believe the rifle was made in 1943. The bore/rifling is not great looking but the rounds stabilized. C&R eligible, would prefer not to ship at this time. Located in...

Looking for any Italian Carcano rifle variant.
Have cash and other Military surplus rifles like some M1 Garands for trade.
Let me know what you have! Can meet in the Portland area or willing to pay for shipping to my FFL if you're out of state or far away.
The final version of the venerable Carcano reverted back to a long rifle/marksman concept with adjustable sights, but arrived too late for service on the vast desert plains of North Africa. It is thought most of these served on the Eastern Front and the Balkans until the Italian Surrender in...

I am selling a Carcano m91/24 rifle originally made in 1904 and shortened/rebarreled in 1927.
This is a very cool piece of history for anyone who collects military surplus firearms.
I am asking $150 for this gun. To my knowledge no parts were replaced after 1927.
The bore and bolt show age but...

Gardonne Carcano Calvary Carbine with foldable bayonet, bought this from Axis arms missing the top hand guard and buttplate. Replacement unfinished handguard also included new reproduction from Axis. Buttplate has been replaced with an original. Too many projects going on and too many calibers...
So I picked up one of those "fixer upper" carcanos from Axis arms that was missing the buttplate and upper hand guard, I ordered a replacement buttplate that will need to be filled down to fit, but the hand guard I ordered is another story. It's a new production one direct from Axis. Wondering...
