Re: Carcano 91/38 Carbine Moschetto
I've got a Carcano that was reconfigured in 8mm Mauser. A definite rifle to give to the rear area Italians in Africa. I took a snap of my three WWII carbines. The British No. 5, the US M1 carbine, and the Italian Carcano. The No. 5 came at the very end of the war and saw little to no service. The Carcano was strickly a maybe third line weapon configured in 8mm and the M1 carbine was everywhere in the war and produced in great numbers.
