The Carcano turned out to be a very strong action - but then, so is a rock. The sights were primitive and dreadful. Late war carbines had a fixed block of steel with a crude notch......
Never shot one - only ammo I could find locally was that Norma stuff that you had to mortgage your house to buy a box of.
A buddy has the french MAS 36 and MAS49/56 rifles - they are actually very good shooters! I always did wonder about the lack of safety though. There were a few MAS36 rifles modified for hunting with safeties added (similar to the SKS safety) but they are scarce here.
