Title: Surplus Alert: 1891 TS Carcano Carbines.
Post by: Drydock on July 27, 2020, 01:10:41 PM: https://dkfirearms.com/product-category/firearms/surplus-firearms/

Has sent me an alert that they will soon be posting 1891 TS Carcano Carbines. These are GAF main match eligible, and just a dandy little carbine in general. DKs pricing has seemed reasonable to me in the past, FWIW.

They also have a nice selection of the only Beretta I've ever really liked, the M1951.

Now up on site at $249. These are NOT 91/24s, these are orginal 1891 TS Carbines, in both nosecap styles. Including the oddball cross bayonet latch of the pre ww1 guns.

They are Mod 91-24 TS, that's the ones that were converted from long rifles, and most will have cut down barrels I believe. May not shoot as well as the long rifle, since the fast twist part of the gain twist rifling is cut off. Might shoot well with a fairly light cast, though, since the gain twist Carcanos seem to be difficult to get to shoot cast well.

Post by: pony express on July 28, 2020, 06:29:17 AM: Real M-91 TS carbines? Drat, now I'm gonna have to check these out! I had already successfully resisted the urge to pounce on the PSA offering. And I've already got two new guns inbound... Already somewhat set up for 6.5 Have a 6.5 neck size die and a 6.5X55 I can use for seating, and a shell holder for the oddball Carcano case head. Already have an M-41 Carcano, even a couple of clips.

Post by: Drydock on July 28, 2020, 07:48:40 AM: The Carcano uses the same shellholder as the 7.62x39. There are some who think it might have been the parent case, but old Soviets ain't telling.
