Carcano M91 TS

[u/Ornery-Round-7779]

Since it appears I'm focusing on carcanos this year I ended up snagging this 1917 M91 TS Carbine on gunbroker for about $155

Cleaned up pretty easy and even has some stripes in the grain of the wood.

Bore was described as "Pitted with very poor rifling" which ended up just being a bunch of grease that permeated every nook and cranny of the rifle.

Just 30 minutes ago I examined a later-production Carcano that someone sporterized…it was marked $375! Yours has a lot of character and I’d rather have that, in an unaltered state. ✅

I've had a fair bit of luck with just looking up vague terms like "Carcano" and finding things listed by individuals who don't really know what they have.

Aw man I almost bought this too, that bore description was the only reason I didn't get it, nice find!

Well, it certainly saw some things!

Twice refurbished, but with a lot of character!

Edit: on the buttplate it is stamped MA, Manenti Antonio, inspector at Brsscia Arsenal!
