I came accross this Carcano today, in 7.35, and got it for relatively cheap. I knew nothing about them till I looked it up on the web. Best I can tell it's a 1938 (first year production) Terni Fucile Corto (short rifle. Has the SA stamp so it was used by the Finns. Some other stamping I can't exactly find meaning for. No markings on the stock, except for at the very end (muzzle), it appears something was carved in, on either side of the bayonet lug. Looks like an ornate squiggle, resebling a backwards three, and a chevron .
wondering if any of you C&R guys, with knowledge on these, and semi-near me, would be willing to check this one out? Let me know exactly what the story of this one is, atleast based on markings, and an approximate value.
Also, is 7.35x51 available anywhere now? and some of the stripper clips. I'm itching to shoot this thing
