PFA. I have a 6.5 91/38 that's been sporterized; wondering if I can buy a broken M38 and switch out the stock, sling band, etc. I imagine the barrels are just bored differently? I know the clips are the same.
Trying to abide by the rules here and not link directly, but this is a 1939 Finnish marked 7.35 cal currently at $880 with days left to go in the auction. Why is it going for so much? Even 6.5s in this size do not go for near this.
Obviously, not my auction. I think this is nuts
Hello, I'm trying to get my M91 all set up for reenacting and I had a question about the cleaning rod. The rod (29.5 inches) in these pictures came with the rifle but it obviously does not fit and previous attempts to force it to do so has carved a channel in the stock. I have found a source for 26 inch cleaning rods but based on my measurements that would bring the rear threads in line with the cut out for the rear sight ring. I'm probably going to get one of those anyways but I just wanted to see if anyone knows what's going on and if the 26 inch rod is correct. 1897 Terni with Tubata marking in case anyone is curious. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hey guys just got a Carcano from a house that was to be demolished from the owner. It’s going to be a restoration project as it must have sat in a closet for years and is rust and frozen up. I’ll do a separate post on it but was looking at buying some clips and saw that some guys prefer the 3d printed ones and was wondering if there was a specific stl I should use over others. Thanks in advance.
i cannot press the button in on my rear sight to adjust elevation... it's completely frozen. I don't think there's dried grease in there as I've soaked it in everything from oil to break cleaner to clean this carcano. the connection bar that attaches to the button in photo 2 is broken ... I broke it trying to get the button to push in. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or why the elevation is stuck as I cannot think of anything mechanically blocking it from moving.
I took the stock off and the screw heads are broken off that attach to the rifle... so it won't be easy to remove.
any idea on what I can do?
