Carcano Model 1891TS Carbine
 

I came across an excellent early Carcano carbine in 6.5mm with adjustable rear sight. A fellow was telling me that a gun shop offered him $50, so I offered him $100. He was thrilled and sold the carbine to me. He even gave me some 6.5 military ammo in clips. The bore is bright and the stock and bluing are excellent. I have not seen one of these early carbines. So this gets added to the collection. All the best...

Gil,

I have several TS Carbines. Do you have a canoe? My TS guns make GREAT Boat Anchors since the bullets all keyhole at 25 yards!

Gil,

I have several 6.5MM Italian Carbines. I tried PRVI ammo and got keyholes at 25 yards. The bores were obviously oversized. The PRVI brass is reloadable and I found Hornady 160 grain RN .268" bullets and reloaded same. The groups were great and the guns shot nearer the sights.

Nice find buddy! You just don't find those kinda deals much anymore.
