WORLD WAR II Era Italian FNA BRESCIA Model 1938 6.5mm C&R MILITARY Carbine
Model Used in the Assassination of JOHN F. KENNEDY!
Description: WORLD WAR II Era Italian FNA BRESCIA Model 1938 6.5mm C&R MILITARY Carbine Model Used in the Assassination of JOHN F. KENNEDY! Here we present a C&R Italian F.N.A. (Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi) Brescia Arsenal Carcano Model 1938 Carbine, manufactured circa 1942 at the Italian Military Brescia Arsenal during a production run between 1938 and 1945. This was a short carbine, stocked almost to the muzzle, with a bayonet lug and a handguard. 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, it was produced from 1892 to 1945. 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. After reports of inadequate performance at both short and long ranges during the campaigns in Italian North Africa (1924-1934), and the Second Italo-Abyssinian War (1934), the Italian army introduced a new short rifle in 1938, the Model 1938, together with a new cartridge in 7.35×51mm caliber. However, the Italian government was unable to successfully mass-produce the new arms in adequate quantities before the onset of World War II, and in 1940, all rifle and ammunition production reverted to 6.5 mm, but no 7.35 mm Mod. 38 rifles nor carbines were ever re-barreled to the old 6.5×52mm caliber. Interestingly, the Carcano Model 1938 was the rifle owned by Lee Harvey Oswald and determined to be the John F. Kennedy assassination rifle. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright bore. The stock is sturdy with an average amount of wear, minor dents, and dings. The front of the top handguard has a short split. The serial number on the barrel is “C5750” (it appears it is a 6 overstamped with a 5) and “C5750” is marked on the receiver. There is some old graffiti on the left side of the butt stock. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 18-1/2 inches. Caliber: 6.5mm Carcano Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #220414 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
