Looks like you are basing your "expert" opinion on handing a whopping 20 or thirty pieces.
The fact that the Carcanos you have seen and deem all "junk" due to well-used wood, et. al. would tell me that these guns have had a long and very hard service life. Hardly the hallmark of a POS.
Perhaps if you look around at some gun shows or places other than Cabelas, you might see what a Carcano with nice wood and a decent finish looks like.
But, the bottom line is: If you don't like them, don't buy one.
