Tater, thanks......your information is undoubtedly correct. I have only one of these rifles left, and have not fired it in over ten years.

Did he not say that his rifle was actually dated 1926? Could that be the date that it was refurbished? I have no doubt about your manufacture date, as you certainly seem to have some very detailed information on these rifles.

I liked the Carcano rifles. Many people seem to say derogatory things about the Carcanos. I never had a bad experience with any of mine. They worked well. They were easy to take care of. From what I was told in Germany by some of the oldsters in the shooting club I was involved with there, the Italian troopers really liked and appreciated the rifles.

In pricing, I have not seen a Carcano rifle around here for under 200 bucks in a long, long, time. Some of them in cut up condition are going for that.
