whats going on with the little carcano? no post about it since 11/16

finally it works

the rifle was in the proof house in suhl and the scope is on the rifle, with a claw mount

shooting the rifle 4 weeks ago and the scope hits the target where it should

the stock is still the old proof house stock serving once for the 9,3 mm mosin project than as a proof house stock for this carcano. I finish it 99 % with a table saw and a belt sander to made it ready now. it will end painted nato green.
with this stock I will use the rifle for target shooting and give it to friends as a loaner. another full stock will be made using the old walnut blank still laying here from the mosin project.

first time I have 7,62x39 brass cases in the house

7,62x39
8x39
9x39 ( iirc, a finish wildcat for some kind of action shooting with semi auto AK rifles)
9,5x39
10,75x39
resized with a 41 Mag die
my 401 WSL brass ( ex 414 Super Mag starline brass case)

the case is 1,5 mm shorter than it have to be for 401 WSL but the primer makes bang and the case eject. we will see what hapen after the case is realy fireformed.
