a very nice look alike MS Carcano
      #186099 - 19/07/11 05:31 PM

must be an early Ferlach made sporter, a lot of work also then and I wonder if it was realy cheaper than an original Schönauer Stutzen. maybe the customer give a war rifle he had for free to the gunmaker.
642 euro comes close to a real schönauer in an auction.

Hi Lancaster,

What did they say about making a 'Silk Purse from a Sows ear' an old saying that looks to be true. Very nice.

Cheers,

Jeff Gray

I wonder where the bottom metal came from ? Maybe a Japanese type1. I own a couple of them, a 91/41 and a sportered version which is being stocked at the moment .I like the scope set up but alas ,unless you change the magazine to a Mauser type it's not practical.

I cant imagine that they had parts for the type 1 rifle in Ferlach back in the 50s.

Since the I-Type was made in Italy in 1938 -39, I think it is highly likely some specimens made it to Ferlach.

there is an interesting Carcano sporter variant made for the canadian market in the 1930s I will show now and like allways I collect the topic to attrac more knowledge ...

The Eaton's Carcano

first question: who is Eaton's?
or better who was it?
Daryl????

"The T. Eaton Co. Limited was once Canada's largest department store retailer. It was founded in 1869 in Toronto by Timothy Eaton, a Presbyterian Ulster Scot immigrant from what is now Northern Ireland. Eaton's grew to become a retail and social institution in Canada, with stores across the country, buying offices across the globe, and a catalogue that was found in the homes of most Canadians. A changing economic and retail environment in the late 20th century, and mismanagement culminated in the chain's bankruptcy in 1999."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eaton%27s

so eaton's sold guns and ammo also and typical for such mail order catalogs it were mostly simple basic model's. they had also some own products like the 12 ga. shotgun cartridge "Eatonioa"



or the single shot bolt action rimfire rifle "Eatonia" that looks very belgian to me.

from the 1899 catalog



1916





1934-35











there are several eaton'S catalog's online like 1926 and 1934 but the eaton's carcano is not in this so I believe it must be between this years
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/cmc/0...&img13.y=12


sometimes in the 1930s Eaton's sold a carcano sporting rifle in 6,5x54 Mannlicher Schönauer build for them by the H. W. Cooey Machine & Arms Company in Cobourg, Ontario. looking at the rifle I have very strong doubt about this story because the Eaton's carcano smell so strong austrian -german.
but take a look at a rifle for sale in canada







http://www.adpost.com/ca/sports_games/6927/

the pistol grib was made by glueing a piece of wood on the original stock. the original .268 diameter barrel was cut and a new .264 diameter barrel was screw in the original barrel stub for the 6,5x54 MS which was a very popular sporting round than around the world. the 6,5x52 Carcano was not available as a comercial sporting round before the 1950s.
nothing against canadian craftmansship but style and the double set trigger looks very continental.
So was this rifle realy build by a canadian shotgun maker? I believe we have another example of the international guntrade here. the rifle could be made by small firm like Sodia in Ferlach for example using captured WW 1 rifle forgotten in an austrian store and found again in the 1930s to made a cheap copy of the desired but expensive .265 Mannlicher sporting rifle. the carcano was not available as cheap surplus market before WW 2!


interesting the Eaton's carcano had his own urban myth
its believe by some that the .264 barrel was only pressed in the original barrel stub and hold by a little screw and so unsafe to shoot it.
but thats the truth:


"Pic 1 - The Barrel "Stub" into which the new barrel is affixed and widely believed to be pressed in and held by a set-screw. False, as stated above. "



"Pic 2 - Left to Right - barrel with tiny indent for set screw, barrel stub, set screw, receiver"



http://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=303-Myth-Busted-Proof-Testing-an-Eaton-Carcano-Rifle

the rifle like every other carcano is very strong and safe to fire.


here are two other rifle's, the bottom one with a lacquered stock that is not original.
we can see that this sporting rifle was build in a bigger lot.

Great stuff Lancaster, very interesting, now it is easy to get cheap sporting 6.5X52 & not 6.5X54, or not 6.5X53R any way !

Very interesting to me. This relatively obscure Canadian 6.5 x 54 M-S sporting rifle should be of some interest if only for its place in the history of the use of the 6.5 x54 M-S cartridge in Canada.

Those pages from the Eatons catalogue take me back to my reading/wiping material in the outhouse of my rural Alberta childhood. I spent a lot of time staring at those pages of guns. We had one shotgun and one rifle in the family, a Cooey .22 repeater, passed down to successive sons, who each in his turn would take on the responsibility of defending the farm from the ground squirrel horde.

Ash,
I understand your feelings about these rifles/carbines.
Light, handy, good looking and chambered for effective and easy to shoot cartridges.
I saw a "sporterized" Carcano carbine at a gunshow a couple of weeks ago for $130 but passed on it.
I have enough projects going at this time already.
