What kind of Carcano is this????
So.....I just purchased a rifle that has an exact 91/28 configuration with adjustable sights...the strange thing is that is has 39 xvii with fna Brescia marked on the barrel. Serial number is in the b600 range. From what I can tell it has not been bubba'd with or sporterized as the barrel length is correct as well. It is chambered in 6.5 too...whether it was 7.35 originally, I am not sure. I know Brescia was the only manufacturer who put those type of adjustable sights on the 91/38 Calvary carbines...is it possible they had some left of these sights left over in 39 and simply used it on this ts rifle?? Please help!

it's possible. the italians weren't exactly known for their consistency when it came to arms manufacturing in that time period. flip flopping calibers, bores that ranged .004 in either direction from nominal. I wouldn't be surprised if some worker found a crate of sights in a back room and the foreman told them to just use them up.

Looks to me like a textbook example of a 91/28. What's the issue? They were made with the short adjustable sight by FNA Brescia and Beretta.
