Moschetti M91/38 TS (special troops' carbines) 8mm conversion

[GunnyUSMC]

The majority of Moschetti M91/38 TS (special troops' carbines) 8mm conversions were used as trainers in Egypt, Syria and the UAR post-war) They were made post-war. 1953 & 1954

I picked this one up from a friend that was culling his Carcano collection.















Here it is next to a M38 Carbine chambered in 7.35

Really interesting, I now need one! Must kick like he'll being so small.

I would think that would give the Styer a run for the money in which kicks harder. It is an interesting rifle that I didn't know existed.

some of these were converted to single shot in 8mm

It doesn't kick bad, but it does make a nice fire ball.

I had one of those in the late 90' the first round fired broke the firing pin and it was never fired again...sold as a wall hanger..

Have an 8mm cav carbine in pieces currently, can't wait to get it together and get the crap kicked out of me! I love carbines, and carcanos. Think i'm up to 7 or 8 now...

I have never been a big Carcano fan but, bought my first one just to have one for my WWII collection. Somehow I have ended up with nine.

I'm not arabic but I think the two characters on that buttstock = 25 in western numerals.

Is that a private indoor range?

That pic was taken in the weapons test firing room at the Louisiana State Police Crime LAB.
The walls are covered with rubber blocks and there is a bullet stop/trap that we fire into. The tank to the shooter's left is filled with water. It's a bullet recovery tank. I have a sweet job, I get paid to shoot guns.
