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.

These three Italians have fallen into my lap over the last couple of years. The M1891 at the top was free and it just needed a cleaning. Terni 1900.
Next rifle down, a M38 also Terni SA stamped and chambered in 7.35, dated 1939. It was a $70 dollar find. The last one is a M91 TS manufactured in 1918 at Brescia. This one was a wreck and the bolt had to be replaced. The stock at the muzzle was shattered and a handguard was handcrafted by a boardmember. The reason I spent the $50 originally was for the stock which has a very clear and intact arsenal cartouche.

And the long rifle was the best price!

Nice set of Carcano's

Yep, nice trio. You need a Cav. carbine to go with them though.

The handguard on the M91 TS looks familiar
