Well, since my Carcano decided it couldn’t handle the pressure of firing off a couple rounds a while back, it’s time to give some luck person the stuff I had acquired for it. There is 4 boxes of cartridges that are the modern .264 size bullets. I think 500 loose bullets from Grafs that are the .267 size exclusive to the Carcano cartridge, a Lee reloading die, and a lee case length gauge and shell holder. Anyone who has a 6.5 Carcano is welcome to enter. Please share a pic of your rifle so I can be jealous.[emoji23]

In! Very nice PIF.

Top: This is an M91/28 Moschetto T.S. (special troops) carbine, made in 1930 at the Terni arsenal. It's overall in good condition, but the bore is a bit rough and worn . . . I put a LOT of elbow grease into scrubbing this sucker, with a few different kinds of bore cleaners. It's a lot smoother and cleaner than it was when I started, but it has a ways to go and hopefully it'll get better after some shooting.

Middle: This is an M91 Cavalry Carbine, made in 1917 at the Brescia arsenal. Condition and bore are good.

Bottom: Also an M91 Cavalry Carbine, made at the Brescia arsenal sometime between 1940 and 1943. It's also in good condition.

Note: I know we live fairly far apart, so if the meet-up is easier with someone else, I'm happy to step aside if I win this.

I'm in if you can meet on Saturday, I'll be driving down to Westport and you're not that far out of the way for that (compared to normally lol)
Picture isn't the best, but it's the one I've got on my PC.
