Another milsurp up for grabs. This is an Italian Model 1891 Carcano Fusil Long Rifle chambered in 6.5x52mm Carcano. This one was made by the Terni arsenal in 1912.
Metal is a little rough, definitely has seen some action but stock is in very nice shape with no cracks and a very clear repair cartouche from ROMA in 1922. Bore is in good shape and actually has acceptable groups with .264 bullets. Shoots great, no issues! Only selling as I found a nicer example.
For those that don't know: Carcanos have a .268 bore but almost all ammo manufacturers use .264 bullets to save money, leading to these rifles incorrectly being known as very inaccurate. Milsurp Munitions and Steinel have begun making proper .268 ammo for these.
Cleaning rod is present. Sling in pictures is not included.
Asking $300 cash FTF in central Texas area or trade toward other milsurps.
Thanks,
K
