Century 28 Carcano

1. Just received this one in today. It was a gooked up mess but it is in very good condition. Dings and things, but no cracks or missing parts. Parts match and shows as a 1929 Terni.

2. Will post pics as I clean it up.;)

That might take a while, as you are still knee deep in cosmoline from your recent Mauser and Albanian purchases...

2. Im now relivated to the back porch. Come on gun room:(

Hi Neil-I think the word you were aiming at is:

rel.e.gate
1 : to send into exile : BANISH
2 : ASSIGN: as a : to assign to a place of insignificance or of oblivion : put out of sight or mind

There's nothing like a nice BIG space for a man to do his work.

How's the bore?- I believe this model has gain twist rifling. I'll check the Carcano Homepage to be sure.

1. The bore is mirror. You would be jealous.:D

Hmm, dunno about that - My Baretta Cavalry Carbine has a perfect bore and is accuracy marked, too!:D

Actually, even though I have really invested in cleaning patches with these Century Carcanos, I must say, they have some of the nicest bores of any military rifles I have owned or seen. Even better than the early import Carcanos.
