On an Italian site, a fellow posted pics of a Carcano his Grandfather "saved" from the war. Looks like he should have given it a good coat of yak fat before forgetting where it was. The OP asked advice on giving it a "facelift". Expressed an interest in shooting it. :-o

Of greater concern to forum members was his being "denounced" to the police. He didn't seem concerned so he must have had a license. Italy is pretty strict on such things. You need a license for bayonets and swords there! :roll:

But there's a lot of history here & it could no doubt tell stories. One suggestion was liberal use of what they called "Rice's Elbow Grease".

Hmmm... yeah - it should buff out.

I heard power tools can replace elbow grease in a pinch. Still, it looks like a difficult job even for power tools. Anybody for industrial strength chemicals?

Best Regards,
