Offered here is an Italian Carcano Modello 1891 long rifle chambered in 6.5×52 Carcano. This is a full-length infantry rifle produced by Terni and dated 1934-XII, representing a pre-war production example of the classic M1891 long rifle pattern rather than the later M91/41 variant.

Rifles dated in the early-to-mid 1930s represent the late production period of the original M1891 pattern, manufactured before the Italian army began transitioning to the later M38 and M91/41 rifle systems. Examples from this period are encountered less frequently today and are of particular interest to collectors studying the evolution of the Carcano service rifle.

This rifle retains its original military long rifle configuration, including the long barrel, full-length stock, and the correct long-pattern ladder rear sight associated with the M1891 series. The overall length of approximately 128 cm is also consistent with the original long rifle configuration.

Unlike the more commonly encountered Carcano cavalry carbines with folding bayonets that dominate the Canadian surplus market, full-length M1891 infantry rifles are seen much less often. Original long rifle examples are noticeably harder to find today, especially in honest military configuration, and are generally considered more desirable among collectors than the short cavalry carbine variants.

The metal surfaces retain their original blued finish and remain in well-preserved condition with normal service wear consistent with age. The wood stock appears to remain in original condition and retains visible military markings. No cracks were observed, and the stock remains structurally solid and stable.

The bore is in good condition with visible rifling. The rifle comes with the cleaning rod installed under the barrel and includes a leather sling. The bolt number does not match the receiver.

The receiver is marked Terni and dated 1934-XII, which is consistent with M1891 production rather than the later M91/41 pattern introduced during the Second World War. We have provided many detailed photographs so collectors can closely examine the markings, condition, and overall configuration for their own analysis and research.

Overall, this is a
