WORLD WAR I Era Italian TERNI ARSENAL Model 1891 6.5mm CARCANO Rifle C&R
Italian Infantry Rifle Used in Both WORLD WARS
Here we present a C&R Terni Arsenal Italian Carcano Model 1891 Rifle, manufactured in 1907 during a production run between 1891 and 1919. The Terni Arsenal was a small arms factory located in Terni, Italy. The Terni complex was set up by a group consisting of the Italian steel and shipbuilders Odero and Orlandi, with technical and financial input from Vickers and Armstrongs of Britain to erect a Blast Furnace at Terni, and a connected "ordnance" works, for the manufacture of Guns (artillery) and small arms, in the late 1870s after the final unification of Italy with Rome as its capital in 1870. At the time, the centers of Small Arms and Artillery production were Turin (Torino), for the North, and Torre Annunciata (near Naples) for the South, both areas having been independent kingdoms prior to the re-unification struggles of the 1860s.
Carcano is the frequently used name for a series of Italian bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating military rifles and carbines. Introduced in 1891, this rifle was chambered for the rimless 6.5×52mm Carcano round. It was developed by the chief technician Salvatore Carcano at the Turin Army Arsenal in 1890 and was originally called the Modello (model) 91 or simply M91. Successively replacing the previous Vetterli-Vitali rifles and carbines, the M91 was used in both rifle (fucile) and shorter-barreled carbine (moschetto) form by most Italian troops during World War I and by Italian and some German forces during World War II.
