Christmas Sale GNG Carcano Moschetto

[Claven2]

Looks like a decent example. Probably not rebarelled.

If there is no maker mark on the barrel shank, it's an FNA Brescia. They stopped applying maker markings in late 1941.

The maker is TERNI

That’s a very nice one! I’ve got another 3 coming on Friday. Hopefully they will be decent

Anyone find cleaning rods in their rifles?

Not I.

 

[Military Surplus Lover]

Not I.

None of the ones I’ve have had either which I find odd. I image they would all be issued with rods

I got rods in my first one but none in my second nice to have but not something I will ever use. rifle was from marstar

 

[collector67]

I had my fingers crossed, but none in mine.

 

[Paul_T]

No rods in mine.

Received my second batch of Carcanos from Marstar today and once again I am very happy. All 3 carbines in this batch are what I would consider to be in very good condition. All have good bores and good wood. From top to bottom 1901 Brescia, 1940 Brescia and 1942 Brescia. The stocks match the barrels. Surprisingly none of the carbines I received had cleaning rods.

Great looking batch

Measured the hole depth in my stock at 10". So the cleaning rods for the Cavalry Carbine are two x 9" correct?

Who sells the proper sling for these models? Prefer original but a repop would do.

I think the rods are 9.75". There was a guy in eBay selling a bunch of them. For all I know some us dealers are robbing them out to sell separately.

NO!:Say it isn't so. That would be unethical

 

[Military Surplus Lover]

I wouldn’t be suprised, not a single one of mine had one

 

[bearhunter]

Military Surplus, there shouldn't be any cleaning rods with those rifles. There is no hole in the stock for them or an internal threaded block.

I did some deep cleaning of the bore of my Carbine today. It's still very nice and shiney but it was loaded with copper fouling.

No rust or pits under the fouling thank goodness.

I am assuming that when they did their last shooting stint, they used non corrosive ammo??? I didn't know any of the military stuff was non corrosive? Maybe it was post war ammo, ordered specially for the Police??

 

[collector67]

Liking that 1901! Wish mine was earlier dated, but oh well, I got a decent one….

Thank you, that one is definitely one of my keepers. That’s the earliest one I received in the batch. Don’t know how it made it through 2 wars in such good shape.

I thought the cleaning rods were stored in the buttplate

That is correct. Has a little hatch like most service rifles of that era.
