Lancaster,
I do not want to hijack your thread but wanted to ask a question
about the Carcano as it is the only thread I have ever seen about
sportering one.

I have a model 91/38 that is 7 .35 and want to sporter it.
Was thinking of using the T38 Arasaki bottom metal for it.
Do you think it will fit?
If so it will give me a flat bottom and I will not have to
use the clips to load the mag.

Any ideas ?
