little Carcano sporter project
      15/10/13 12:17 AM

when I found a Carcano action under the workbench of my Gunmaker I was knowing this was a hint from heaven.





for a long time I was missing a rifle that shoots easy available surplus ammo to loan it on the range.

caliber was clear because the Carcano bolt fits the 7,62x39 without problems. only thing I was needing was a barrel but thanks to bokmal a like new finnish Maxim machine gun barrel without chamber was found.
the barrel 57cm long was lathe turned, the action polished and today the thing officially started.


its more or less for making some use of the leftowers from my Mosin sporter project.
I had a walnut stock blank worked inside for the mosin action that dont came in use because of an original stock I got. was glueing a piece of wood again to the stock so it became a mannlicher typ fullstock and changed it inside again for the carecano action. because there was a claw mount rear feet for a scope with rail I was looking for a early post war scope in the class of a zeissziel 4 and got a hensoldt 4x. its more than adequate for the intended use: shooting paper at 50 meter at daylight.



the post war Hensoldt over a pre war Zeissziel 4






in the fullstock




the original bolt handel will be cut off, I made a spoon lever handel from the original Vergueiro bolt handle











the old proofhouse only stock from my mosin project. the gunmaker love it because he could work on the rifle without care about the stock so I change this for the carcano action again.


when making the plan I orientate myself to such austrian sporting rifles like this






of course, they are a copy of the Mannlicher Schönauer carbine the favourite rifle of the moutain hunter for decades but the Mannlicher Schönauer have an background that's have also some roots in the Carcano.
