GoodOlBoy,
It sounds like your uncle has a 6.5mm or 7.35mm Carcano. The Italian Army adopted the M1891 in 6.5mm in that year, and they came in rifle and carbine lengths. In 1938, they adopted the 7.35mm Short Rifle, but the 6.5mm arms remained alternate standard.
Check the bore size to determine which arm you have. Hope this helps.
Adam
