Grail Carcano (?!) Acquired!

[@milsurprifleguy7091]

That is something different to have in historical perspective that the formation of a youth cadre with their own firearm ,training them to become soldiers . From the video , it looks in pretty good shape . I did have an idea of what it was , then you showed the full size Cavalry Carbine , then I knew what it was . Glad you posted the video

[@usna98]

Agreed...definitely an interesting piece of history.

[@theblindsniper9130]

To be fair, one of my grail guns is also a carcano, I have been wanting an 1891 long rifle forever. Finally ordered one. Sweet mini carbine you have there!

[@usna98]

It's hard to beat RTI with some of their prices right now, even though you never know what you're going to get. They've ruined the market for M95 and Carcano prices.

What a neat piece! Makes me think maybe I’m not quite done collecting Carcanos after all.

[@usna98]

There's always something more to collect (unfortunately for my wallet).

[@michaelholmes3724]

Nice. I got 3 all in very good condition!

[@usna98]

Very nice! Thanks for watching!

[@RME1911]

That’s a very neat find, congrats. Thank you for sharing

[@usna98]

Thanks for watching!

[@MidwesternFC]

Oh, thats sweet. Real nice pick up. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@usna98]

Thanks for watching!

[@SimonLArnold]

Awesome! That’s crazy small! I picked up 4 cav versions from RTI and after some research I found out one of mine is a PS version for military police… apparently only 10k made. Need to grab a few more while they’re still cheap…

[@usna98]

Very cool...thanks for watching!

[@darant2341]

Hello, beautiful carcano rifle!! Could you please tell me on which auction sites you get there (because I aslo want to start a collection) Thanks. DarAnt.😉

[@karlhoffman1985]

I almost bid on this, but I realized it can't shoot and didn't, it went for a great price if this is the same one. Great buy!

[@usna98]

Yes, there was a whole batch that all went for $250 or under.

[@slimegoop9853]

I saw one at a gun show a few months ago. If I had the cash I would’ve picked it up.

[@usna98]

Very cool...not something you see too often.

[@resistanceremembered]

Congrats on another amazing acquisition!

[@usna98]

Thank you so much 😀

Does this have an exemption from being considered a short-barrelled rifle? From what I can find online they have a 14.5 inch barrel (16 inch being the normal cutoff for an SBR, but maybe someone succeeded in getting the ATF to exempt this since it is not even really intended to fire live ammo?)

[@usna98]

No need as this is blank firing only.

[@jamesvatter5729]

SBR?

[@usna98]

Lol, no. This is essentially a toy gun. If you could work up an actual cartridge that would fit, you could shoot it (once).
