second to the left looks like it may be an "oswald" carcano, far right is a vetterli."If the American Left wanted to decrease interest in shooting, they should have the government make it mandatory like they do here in Switzerland. Nothing makes you not want to do something like when the government makes you do it."

get us some better pics, close ups of any markings etc....sigpicCertainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter.

Was there no description of them in the CL ad???
Anyhow, to be specific, the Vetterli shown is more than likely an Italian M70/87/15.
First produced as a single shot, the model 1870 was chambered in 10.35x47mmR. In 1887, the En-block style magazine was added to bring the capacity to 4.
In the early 1890's, the 6.5x52mm Mannlicher-Carcano cartridge was introduced and officially adopted, then later during WWI in 1915 with the surplus of near obsolete 10.35x47mmR M70/87's on hand, they where then converted over to the more newly and readily available 6.5 Carcano, thus the rifle then became the M70/87/15. A nice antique rifle that have quite a history.Last edited by GOEX FFF; 10-17-2014, 9:14 AM.Comment

Not sure about the left one, but second from the left is a Gewehr 1888, then a rolling block, then a Vetterli converted to 6.5x52 carcano as noted above.Comment

This. I knew it was a Winchester, but I couldn't the model number.
It is a Commission Rifle!
I thought it was a M91 Carcano at first glance because I have seen them with bent bolts, but never a 1888....*sniff* *sniff* Commies...Comment

The GEW88 has been "Turked".
The rolling block is a Remington No.1, Black powder action.
The Winchester is a Model 62.
The 1890 had a crescent buttstock, 1-18 twist octagon barrel, and was one caliber specific, Short, Long, or WRF.
The Model 1906, was an 1890 with a 1-16 twist round barrel, flat buttplate, and the cartridge lifter was modified to handle Short, Long, and the then new Long Rifle.
The Model 62 was a 1906 with a long forearm.Comment
