r/Carcano

I bought 3 boxes of Steinel’s 150gr lead round nose 6.5 Carcano and several of the projectiles were crooked in the case and had lead pieces shaving off. One of the projectiles was severely sunken in the case, as seen in the photo above, next to the crooked projectile. Their shipping has also gotten slower on in-stock items, like the .32 s&w long I ordered a week ago. I left a one star review on these 6.5 cartridges with this photo attached and it was immediately removed. I would’ve recommended them a year ago, but not anymore.

Tried digging through the Internet to identify this thing, ended up in a confusing rabbit hole of not being able to determine whether or not this damn thing was altered.

Owned a lotta milsurps but this is my first carcano. Loving it so far. Think this would be a TS mod. 91 since it’s in 6.5 with the adjustable sights? Would love a correction if I’m wrong.
