Considering picking up a TS carbine with the transverse lug, but am worried about finding a bayonet for it. I found one that's beat up for a good price, but it's missing the latch button and spring. Can anyone send photos of theirs so I can see how feasible it would be to make a new one?
Hey folks. I just got my carcano from RTI and wanted to get your thoughts on it. Seems like all the parts are there, though the hand guard looks mismatched. Bore looks alright even before cleaning.
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.
I found a small ammo producer in my state that makes 6.5 Carcano ammo: Wisconsin Cartridge.
I sent an email asking if they use .264 or .268 bullets. His reply, "We use foreign made .268" diameter bullets in the 6.5 Carcano."
I have never purchased from this site before. Prices as of this posting were $35 for 20 rounds of 120gr Soft Point. Not exactly cheap but less than the Milsurp Munitions ammo, and in stock.
They said they have no intention of selling FMJ for Carcano.

If someone has purchased from them, or does buy from it, would love to hear how the ammo works in your Carcano.
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!
