Great job comparing the rifles. I'm a retired Army 11B First Sergeant. I have an M1917 that I love shooting. It's a bit heavy and bulky but shoots straight. If you ever get a chance to do the Garand and/or the M1A (Civ M14), that would be great! Take care.
Great video! I used to be big into military surplus but I’ve sold off all my collection minus an M1 Garand and one of these 1912 Chilean Mausers. It’s not in as nice condition as yours but still serviceable. Haven’t shot it at 100 yards in a few years but I was able to get less than 3” groups with handloads. Pretty nice for a 100+ year old gun
That is a next level rifle. I saw a Soviet manufactured one on consignment at my LGS priced at about an ounce and a half of gold. But a Finnish capture? Never seen one of those before. Stewardship is awesome. Thanks!
Very nice shoot. While not terribly informational video, I credit you for shooting the rifle as most owners consider them safe-queens these days and always want to see them fired With 3 Polytech models in my collection, the Legend rules the roost with dark finished Chu wood, beautifully blued finish, and full compliment of accessories (cleaning rod, buttstock storage for basic tools, oil bottle, brushes, and proper sling. Overall, is a nice kit.
😂❤ Wow that Nice this is a Germany "Gewehr " welches in ganz Europa vor allem in Österreich gebaut wurde 😮Danals okay 😁🤔🥱🍺😁 Cool ❤❤❤iam laike ild weapons ❤ korrekt 😅 Grüße aus Bayern 😂❤
I appreciatte your video. Had I not ordered a new firing pin I would definitely have had that on safe. I only know that from videos like yours, so thank you! Slam fire Bad! LOL!
The Carcano M1891 barrel length is about 3.5 inches longer than the Carcano M41. This similar to the difference between the Mosin M1891 and Mosin M91/30 barrel lengths.
You should try using the Norma 6.5 Italian 156 grain soft point bullet ammo, very accurate in my cavery carbine, the bullet is torpedo shape like the original Italian military round, they engage the rifling alot better, then the pointed ammo you are using, very good video, great job
I have a bring back TS Carbine from 1942. It has a 17.75" barrel with a fixed rear sight and is very handy a light. The clip system works if the clips are of thicker gage brass or steel otherwise the rounds will jump out at a angle and jam the gun. The gun does shoots better with .268 bullets most manufactures use .264 bullets which are a little undersized.
Your groups are about par for the Carcano. I have two carbines and can't hit the broad side of a barn with them, and I'm a decent shot. I read somewhere that Mussolini himself got involved trying to improve the Carcano, with little success. This may be outside the scope of your channel, but have you considered comparing the Carcano, the 1896 Swedish Mauser, and modern day Creedmoor? All are 6.5. (Or at least compare milsurp 6.5s.)
I just came from CNR arsenals 2 new videos on the Chilean 1895 Mauser rifles and carbine and the 95/12/60 nato rifles were mentioned I’m happy to see the shell stick to the extractor it makes u realize the size difference of a full power cartridge versus an intermediate style cartridge thanks for the video
Tiempo sin ver este fusil, se uso para entrenamiento en mi liceo obviamente para orden cerrado, marchas diurnas, nocturnas y desfiles con su respectiva bayoneta calada; para practicas de tiro usabamos el mitico FAL despues probe el Browning GP 9mm (solo Oficiales) tuve en mis manos la uzi, la HK y a punto estuve de comprar la Colt Python 357 hoy 100% coleccionable pero bue era otros tiempos...🤷♂️
You shot more ammo then hasimo had in in the day I doubt that a jap shot on average. 100 or less in battle O the horror. They prevered the bayonet. Sorry to be the bummer
I use S&B (Selliot and Belot) 173 gr. You might try it. At 35 yds I have about 3” of spread, so this ammo works well for mine. My rifling is likely not as good as yours too, from what you said (mine bore is about gone). BTW, nice rifle and well done!
