The reliability of the weapon convinced Fascist Italy to re commence manufacturing the Infantry rifle during WW2. The rifle was designated the Carcano M1891/41 Rifle. Aside from a more compact rear sight, standard non-progressive rifling, and a barrel slightly shorter than the older infantry rifle, the 1941 adaptation was little changed from the WW1 era weapon. The M1891/41 rifle was manufactured at the Terni Arsenal (aka Terni, FAT) and in Northern Italy at the Armaguerra Cremona factory. This is an excellent original example of the M1891/41 Rifle. It's wood stock and metalwork are excellent and undamaged. It is equipped with original cleaning rod, sling swivels, bayonet lug, flip up rear sight, blade fore sight, steel butt plate and original leather sling. The breech is crisply marked 'Armaguerra Cremona' together with '1942' date and 'XX' (Fascist marking). The breech is also stamped with 'Crown RE' Royal Army stamp, other inspection marks and '6.5mm' calibre detail. The stock is impressed with number 'QA3755' and faint ink roundel. Deactivated to UK/EU specification the weapons magazine can be removed, its bolt and trigger move, but the firing mechanism has been disconnected internally so it does not cock and dry fire. The price includes UK/EU deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 10065
