Greetings from Canada! 🍁 This is my family's 105 year old Carcano Moschetto Carbine that is recently took possession of and I am having a really hard time getting this old girl to run properly. The first two rounds chamber like butter considering this rifle is old and cranky at its best.. it's the last four rounds in the clip that double feed and cause all sorts of hell. So my question is: is this a clip issue and if it is where do I find good En Block clips? If it's the rifle, what my next move? Thanks so much in advance and God bless! 🙏

Late night cognition again…. Anyone happen to searched around and located the place with the best quantity and deal for a carcano currently???

Havent posted much , thought id share my 41 date cabalry carbine and gun loving cat

Hi! I recently purchased a sporterized FAT M91/41, wood is in beautiful condition and the rifling is very strong, however the stock has been cut down just in front of the rear barrel band by a previous owner, and the rear of the receiver that catches the bolt upon cycling is slightly bent outwards.

My main concerns are:

1. Are the stocks specific to the M41, and if so where can I find a replacement?

and

2. Will it be safe to fire with the rear section of the receiver being slightly bent outwards? I would assume yes since the lugs still lock in nicely, but I wanted opinions

I have a carcano calvary carbine, we think it is M38 or M91. (shoots 6.5x52) there's a bunch of markings: 1935-X1, F.N.A. (underneath F.N.A. it says RRESCIA and beside F.N.A. there is a crown marking.) Underneath the crown marking there is an "RE" and a horizontal S.

Any help is very much appreciated, thank you.

Any help in general would be nice. What should I lookout for?

Was at the range testing the new steinel ammo I bought 134 gr brass with my m38 and had a catastrophic explosion. I had protection on so just some burns and a small laceration on my nose. At the ER now(waiting on tests). From what the range people told me the bottom of the gun blew out, stock cracked, waiting to hear back. Wanted people to be safe updates to follow.

I bought an M41 Carcano and am looking to replace the stock because some idiot carved into it and the stock itself is cut down. Any suggestions on where to find one?

IMA is very proud of their rifles, I guess.

The Italian side so far ! I'd like to move onto pistols, but honestly the carbines being as cheap as they are makes it hard to pass one up. Although I have to admit I didn't realise that I own 7 of them till just now lol.

Anybody know where I can get the cleaning rods that go in the buttstock of a M38 7.35x51?

I’m not sure of the date this carcano was made, tried to look at serial number but still could not get a clear answer need help. It also says FAT 42 on the top just faintly though since the finish covers some of it
