I have used his recommendations with molds, powder loads etc. I really have saved a lot of money and time not going the lengths of testing as he has done.

Wow!

Lol

Yes , and sears sold them too, that was the good old days😊

My dad and I went to an army surpkus storr, and thsete was a barrel of guns for sale, under 10 dollars. I said lets get one, and he said they were too powerful. He was a marine scout sniper who was rsised on a farm.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

Very cool! I remember we were talking about the Italian M38 Carcanos over the phone a while back, and we were discussing the non-SA marked ones.

No, the bolt of the Carcano (specifically the integral bolt head and extractor) was inspired by the Mauser m89. Hence, they are referred to with names like the “Mauser-Paravicino”. It has nothing to do with the m91 Argentine specifically.

Definitely!

Appreciate it! 😁🍻

Right on! Thanks 🍻

@@BattlefieldCurator see you at Camp Perry this month 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

@@BattlefieldCurator Right? Right?

Glad to hear 🍻😁

He’s ridiculously underrated and been around for a good long while

@@Kiwibird17 Agree I have been watching his channels for years. Have a great 4th!

Glad you enjoyed it 🍻

Rhodesian camo. Cool history behind it as well.

😂 I think that’s a pretty obvious yes👍🏻

@@guaporeturns9472 right?

I personally don’t have one but Koba49 tested one of his out and it was as accurate as some other carbines he had. He’s got a video on it. His test most likely concludes that people mistaken them for being inaccurate when in reality they had a shot out bore or they were too far worn at the muzzle. Maybe I’ll try to find one at a gun show with a good barrel and give it a try.

Never tried to load a partial- but the clips I have used, you'd definitely want to start with the partial... I bet you can but it would probably be finicky

@@grant9939 Thanks. I'm trying to clear up the mystery of the two missing Carcano cartridges on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Six cartridges per clip. The Warren Report stated that Oswald rushed upstairs from the last moment people saw him on the first floor lunch room around 12:23 PM and made it unseen and unheard to the Sniper's Nest where he pulled his disassembled rifle from hiding, put it back together using a dime (that vanished), loaded it with the ammunition on the scene and fired three shots--only three shots--before dashing back down the stairs to be seen 90 seconds later on the second floor. Kennedy had been scheduled to pass the School Book Depository a quarter hour earlier and was running late. When investigators "assume" they make an ASS out of U and ME. The Carcano was designed to reload very fast, cramming six shots into the magazine takes no longer than shoving a cartridge in the chamber of a single shot breechloading rifle. Only three spent cartridges were found and the Warren Commission had to scramble to adjust the timeline and the number of bullet impacts (on flesh and otherwise--at least two misses) -- nobody was timing shots with a stopwatch and current estimates of gunfire duration range from four seconds to eleven. Google "six shots in five seconds carcano" for a video demonstrating firing speed--not that Oswald was Proven capable of that speed, but it is in the realm of possibility that Oswald fired five shots instead of three. How difficult is it to partially load a Carcano? Can you do it against the clock in under ten seconds? I picked that as an arbitrary time because there would have been a finite amount of time to assemble and load the rifle. Dallas police had help botching the physical evidence--the FBI barged in, the Secret Service destroyed evidence and removed the corpse, and reports of strangers in the parking lot behind the wooden fence identifying themselves as Secret Service agents are troubling. Entered into evidence was a rifle, a clip (photographed being carried out of the Texas School Book Depository with the bolt open and the clip hanging from the bottom of the magazine), one live round ejected from the rifle when the bolt was opened and three spent casings near the south-east corner window that had been photographed after being picked up, examined, handled, and then tossed on the floor to be photographed. Even a kangaroo court would have difficulty convicting someone when all of the evidence had been proven to have been mishandled. I've been to Dealy Plaza and there is a large hole in the wall at floor level that looked quite capable of swallowing a cartridge case or two. No cartridge cases were reported falling out of the window. The place was cluttered. It is entirely possible that five rounds were fired but two spent casings were not recovered and entered into evidence. I would have felt better if three live rounds had been discovered in the Carcano. Would the prosecution have been able to demonstrate that it was possible to silently unwrap the Carcano rifle without destroying the paper bag, assemble and partially load it with four rounds using only a dime as a screwdriver in less than 60 seconds and then fire off three shots with accuracy? I picked60 seconds because that is the standard to field strip American service rifles beginning with M1 Rifle of World War Two--the service rifle Oswald was trained with. It's not what you know, it's what you can prove to the jury.

@@alancranford3398 interesting... yeah. How far stripped are you talking? Like taking the action screws out, to dissesemmble from the stock? The action screws would probably accept a dime... but 10 seconds to put together... not likely probably closer to 60 minimum, decent amount of turning... especially with a dime

@@grant9939 The Warren Report was vague on this but I'm guessing from an exploded parts view that there would be two action screws and two barrel band screws. I couldn't turn the screws on the action with a dime--I'd need a real screwdriver. The barrel bands--if they weren't too corroded. I'd also worry that disassembly of the action might change my scope's zero. Back in the Seventies I looked up some reference books like the link below and determined that reassembling the rifle in under a minute would be slow--normal field stripping is simply removing the bolt. The more fiddling, the more time required. My conclusion was that the Warren Commission had no idea as to how the murder was accomplished--how the rifle was smuggled into the building, when it was smuggled into the building, who smuggled it there, where it was hidden while the sixth floor was being refloored, or how the sniper managed to escape being seen by Bonnie Ray Williams and the other five men working on the sixth floor moved a lot of boxes without stumbling across a rifle. No evidence that the rifle was on the sixth floor prior to the assassination exists, whether the rifle was fully assembled or taken apart and hidden on that floor. Williams ate lunch in the sniper's nest and left an empty bottle, a cigarette pack, and the remains of his lunch in a bag on a box in the sniper's nest. Williams was seen but not identified by witnesses in Dealey Plaza. Making up silly and unprovable stories is a good way to lose a trial. What other tools were present on the sixth floor when police swarmed all over the place? In my experience, the floor crew would have needed tools. A typical tool set would have had a screwdriver or two to keep the power saw adjusted. How police missed these tools is a mystery--unless the tools had been removed from the sixth floor to avoid theft. personal.stevens.edu/~gliberat/carcano/parts.html

They aren’t that hard to load into the gun partially. The follower pushes the rounds where they need to go and it all locks up the same. It’s a bit more finicky just because you have the rounds rolling and rattling around in the clips.

Thanks for watching! 😁🍻

We’re discussing all Carcanos

Glad you enjoyed it 😁🍻

I got some last week from Miwall. After shipping, one box cost $2 per round. Of course its a little cheaper in volume.
