The M937 carbine was basically a K98 that Portugal purchased in the 30's Many of their older rifles were re-bored to 8mm (7,92 X 57) |

Is that what the 8mm carcano shoots? |

I have had several boxes. It shot fine, but is corrosive. IIRC. |

I finally recalled that this ammo is noncorrosive. When I don't immediately remember I err on the side of caution. |
