Italian Carcano Carbine Guide: Model Identification, Distinguishing Variants, & Things To Look For

[@jarodcrazyindian]

I own 2 Carcano Cavalry carbines. They're really cool. 1917 and 1941 manufactured. 1917 is hex barrel.

Misha your gun knowledge is second to none

[@dillonharriger369]

Thank goodness I found this video. I specialize in Mausers and have not a clue when it comes to Carcano rifles. However, being an avid collector, I never shy away from collecting WW1 and WW2 collector pieces. Thank you for the awesome knowledge on these! Hoping to get a deal on this next auction.

[@kenjones4564]

Misha,, Thanks so much for making these videos, as I'm just learning you are the best.

[@TheTeeWorldsfreak]

The irony is pretty big, when a blind man has to point out the differences of rifles to explain a Shop where they went wrong with the nomenclature

[@Michael-im1vc]

Excellent tutorial Misha! This really helped clarify many of the differences between models for me, thanks!! 👍🏻

[@beefcakes27]

Misha, thanks for the lesson. The Italians sure had a lot of configurations going making them complicated but you remedied it. A+

Why do you get so little views : ( ?? Your content is ASTONISHING!!!

[@eddiexoc8430]

Good information. Thank you.

[@PapaSchultz74]

The cavalery exemplary you have is produced after 1935. The barel nut is rounded, and they started it after 35

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you!

Just bought a carbine, while cleaning the Barre loosened.

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

I recently came across a carcano long rifle with a fixed rear sight, any idea what hat might have been? It seemed to be fitted into a TS stock despite having the longer barrel.

Great episode Misiak 👍🤝😎

[@jackmattshop]

I found a 1940 XVII Carcano 6.5 SN 6896. It looks like someone ran out of ammo and used it to beat the crap out of someone or something. All that's left if the barrel, bolt, trigger and half of the stock. Found in Idaho. Should I restore it or???

[@The_Casual_Collector]

Did they also cut down the 1891 Carbine barrels?

[@sagenbabin8786]

I just bought a m91 carcano ts

[@fredflintstone1547]

that helped alot because on the surface the evolution of this weapon is extraordinarily confusing

[@jh1823]

Are most of the Cavalry carbine stocks interchangeable? I have an M38 Cavalry carbine. But debating between having a gun smith fix a small crack from the tang of the receiver or just picking up a cheap RTI M91 Cavalry Carbine and putting the stock on the M38 Cav Carbine. Thoughts?

[@solanuskc4303]

I have a Carcano nearly identical to the middle one. Do you have any info on the forward sling mounting bar? The rear and front sling bar on my Carcano is missing, the rear has even been filled in with a decent looking repair (wood glued in) But it appears as if the front sling bar was never installed, I also can’t find them anywhere online for sale. The rear sling bar is easy to find tho

[@stevehernandez8566]

Hey nice vid bro, but could you go more in depth about the markings. I just got my first carcano and after watching this vid I think I’ve figured out which variant I got (m91 Calvary carbine) but mine has some markings I can’t figure out what they are, they go as follow/ PNA or RNA they look very similar so I don’t know what they usually put,, RE, and I guess the serial number is YL 1230 it has the same number on the stock and a letter B as well. Lastly the serial number on the barrel near the rear sight and a slash Inbetween 3 and 0 so it looks like (YL12314) doesn’t that mean anything?

[@acester86]

now I'm confused because best I could find online mine was built in 1942, but has an adjustable rear sight.

[@mino1999]

How do you date the cavalry carbine with the 4 digit marking?

[@carcanoM9138]

Can anyone tell me are the curved bolts and straight bolt parts interchangeable?

[@russellhorner4950]

I have a m38 Sa in 7.35 it has the normal serial number but also another number 1M 57 48 on top of the barrel.what would that be from?

[@kepanoid]

Misha, a late comment here, and greetings from Finland again. I have one of those bayonets, but it's slightly different from the one you showed. The general appearance and the folding mechanism are the same, but instead of a button to release it from the rifle, it has a spring loaded lever. It had always been around and staying in the "every random thing" drawer in the shed, and my dad has no recollection of its origins, being born after the war. The best guess is that his father brought it back home from the war. No idea if he lost the rifle and/or just forgot the bayonet in his backpack, or wanted to keep a fancy memento, or just found it lying around and picked it up without actually lying. (English is funny! :D )

[@iac4357]

@aki There were 3 different types of bayonet catches. Four types if you include conversions. Type A- Locking Tab mounted on Bayonet. Type B- Locking Switch mounted on the bayonet's Frame. Type C- Bayonet now secured by a Push Button on the Frame.

I just picked up a cavalry carbine and the barrel says m91 ts...

[@lloydratliff2246]

I recently got a Italian 6.5 Carcano rifle. It says Brescia on one side and Serial numberAD or AO9782 1896 also PO ON BARREL IN

[@charleswatson7154]

Any evidence of an M91ts being restocked with a M91 cavalry model stock, etc?

I have a question. I saw rifles they are called talijanka it means italian. And the gun that i saw was identical but bolt was working not like mauser than just pull back and forward. Is there carcano with that bolt or no

[@LukaJerkovic1998]

They are not functional and the wood is burned only steel is alive. So i cant find gun as that but they say it i carcani

[@markdavis180]

That's very interesting, I've never seen a straight-pull carcano rifle, are there any pictures?
