1930 Dated Pre-WORLD WAR II Italian TERNI M1891/28 Rifle SPECIAL TROOPS C&R

6.5x52mm Bolt Action Magazine Fed CARCANO CARBINE

Here we present a C&R Italian Model 1891/28 Carbine, manufactured circa 1930 at the Terni Arsenal during a production run between 1989 and 1944. The Moschetto Modello 1891 per Truppe Speciali Modificato (Musket Model 1891 for Special Troops, Modified), is chambered in 6.5×52 mm and has a 17.7 inch barrel. There were several changes in different years of these in the sling configurations and bayonet mount on the nose cap. They either kept the original sling configuration, got rid of the one the buttstock and filled it in with wood and the one on the nose cap was also removed. They added a sling bar to the left side on the buttstock and on the left side of the stock. They also later decided to use both type of sling configurations on them.

The nose caps for these were configured to use the standard 1891 rifle bayonet instead of the side mounted type and in all new productions the original nose cap and barrel bands were replaced with the Fucile mod. 91 ones. These have been nicknamed in the collector community as "91/28" models, though these were never referred to as a Model 1891/28. Occasionally you can find a stamp on some of these saying "Moschetto Modello 91 /28" but it was just a short term to indicate a Mod. 91 T.S. (Troop Special) carbine paired with a mod. 28 Tromboncino grenade launcher. In the different circulars the army wrote on the modification of these firearms for arsenal and regimental armorers, they use the word modificato or T.S. modificato, while logistics only indicate these as "Moschetto mod. 91 per T.S., as if it was the same as the old version.

The overall condition is very good. Bright bore with well defined rifling. Good leather sling. Strong action. The stock is solid with some scattered dings. Original blue finish. Mixed numbers. Clear markings. Visible cartouche on the left buttstock.
