I finally got round to taking some half decent snaps of my Italian job yesterday.

Its a M91/28 Truppe Speciali in 6.5X52 manufactured at the Gardone Arsenal. There are no date stamps on the barrel unfortunately.

Some comparison shots with Adams Terni Arsenal M91/38 Fucile Corto also in 6.5, the first obvious difference being the length.

Forend and bayonet bar differences, the 91/38 has a butt trap for the cleaning rod.
