There appears to be enough room to load from the top.

That’s an early pre-1910 2 ½x “Skopar B” scope by Voigtlaender, Brunswik, Germany.

Yes that one does.

Have you ever come across one with a magazine modification to take ammo w/o clips?

not that I see it on a rifle, the only one - you know it- is my own with the CZ 527 magazine.
I had the idea to build it with a clip and spring loaded feed lip but it dont work because of 7,62x39 cartridge oal in the action.
there must be a sako magazine that can be used with cartridges like 6,5x52 or 35 remington in this rifle.

this Carcano was made very much like a Mannlicher Schönauer 1903 stutzen

see this text book mannlicher schönauer for comparison, close as possible

Waefler in Turin, a german name

3 rounds magazine

Did the military Carcano have a magazine arrangement like the Mauser?

Not like the Gewehr 98. En bloc clip only. Mannlicher clip similar to the Gewehr 88.

....it doesn't show it but the enbloc clip drops out the bottom after the last round.

Interesting, then this must have a sort of staggered magazine then to fit in the stock?

Looks like a singlestack. Very slick looking. I've always wondered if there was such a modification available. Not enough commercial market I suppose but I reckon there are a lot of Mannlicher rifles that sit idle due to lack of clips.

They were originally a disposable item, w/ ammo often being issued in clips. I'm guessing the various mils that issued them collected them and reused them in training but in combat/service use, I suppose most just hit the ground and were lost like Garand clips which are, of course, Mannlicher clips themselves.

I think this single stack magazine was used more than one time. maybe a small firm in Ferlach/austria was making this part sometimes between 1920 and maybe 1960s.
we will see this again.
when the rifle here get a spoon handle it will be a perfect copy of a MS Mod. 1903.

OK, we're pretty much settled in to our new, to us, house and I am finally able to find some stuff in all these boxes...went to the range yesterday and fireformed a few cases for the 35 Carcano.

....from the left...

35 Remington, 35 Carcano, 358 Winchester and my own 9.3x55 Imp.
