4 of 5 A nice inter-war period rifle November 25, 2020
Reviewer: Chris from Texas  
This rifle arrived with decades of grime, which honestly, I consider a plus because it means you're probably getting something that hasn't been touched since the last time it was in military service.  Only about 10% to 20% of bluing remains.  Wooden stock was pretty rough but cleaned up well, aside from a couple of gouges.  A 7.35mm caliber indication is still visible, inscribed in the stock.  The bore cleaned up easier than I expected and shows reasonably good rifling left.  I have ordered 7.35mm ammo and am waiting for delivery to test fire the rifle. All in all this rifle is a nice piece of history and worth the reasonable price.

Reviewer: Chris from Alabama  
It was dirty but cleaned up pretty well. The rifling is decent. The barrel on the rifle is loose. I can literally screw it out of the receiver with 2 fingers. I don't blame RTI for that because you wouldn't know unless you took it apart.   I'm not thrilled with the one I received but buying an 81 yr old rifle online that has been there and back is always a gamble.

Fair condition for the price.  Absolutely filthy and not much finish remaining. but the bore cleaned up nicely and shows decent rifling.

4 of 5 M38 Carcano Short Rifle July 4, 2020
Reviewer: Thomas from Kentucky  
Received the M38 Carcano Short Rifle a couple of weeks ago.  Not expecting too much considering the price, but I was pleasantly surprised!  The metal has only about 10% of the bluing left, the stock was very grimy, and the bore was filthy.  But after about 2 hours of cleaning I am left with a good looking Mil-Surp rifle!  A decent amount of rifling in the bore and the action works very smoothly.  No cracks in the stock.  The ammo will be pretty expensive, but can be found.  A fine example of Italian WWII military weapons.
