Pick this one up not long ago. Never owned a carcano and don't really know much about them. It's mark 1942 and made by beretta. I'm not sure if it is a short rifle or a TS. Caliber is 6.5. Complete minus the handguard. Seems light and handy.
Yeah it's kinda neat. I like some of the design features such as a metal insert in stock for supporting the recoil lug. Also didn't realize the Italians made so many variations of the carcano. This one is a ts...troop specialist.
