Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Carcanos are evil! They breed like wabbits in your gun locker!

But that's what we like about them here. Welcome to the madness & best Italian forum on the 'net! SW

Many thanks for the kind welcome!
The rifle was saved from a fate worse than death (de-activation) by a firearm dealer buddy of mine.
The rifle must be a G.I. bring back, as it has been duffle cut beneath the LBB; which I repaired by inserting a threaded brass rod, epoxyed into both pieces and then pinned.
It shoots very well with a Lee `Cruise Missile` bullet, cut down to 150gn and gas checked to .270 in front of 11.0gn of GM3 powder.
