when I refinish stocks that have dents I don't boil the whole stock I just use a steam Iron and a wet towel to get it to raise the dents. But with a stock that heavy with dents boiling is probably the best option. Great teardown video. Looking forward to the next installment.

Hi Larry, thank you so much for the feedback and the comments. Yeah normally I would use either wet towel as you described or even a handheld steamer like the Bissel that allows me to use pinpoint jets of steam. This thing is so far gone that I figured an overall treatment of hot degreaser would eventually pull a lot of the dents out and swell up the gouges making them a little easier to fill. Part two coming up tomorrow evening.

Ya the hot wet towel and the iron !!

My dad used to order Carcano's in the U.S. mail for $15.00 dollars apiece. Back then you could get battle field pickups. Some had shrapnel in them.

Yeah I see ads from 30 years ago for guns that are now in the thousands, going for 20.00 and 30.00 with 100 rounds of ammunition.

Pretty helpful video, only one I’ve found that details the full breakdown of the original pattern 91 TS. Just my opinion but I’d leave the metal as is, seems in good shape. Edit: Was your rear action screw also super tight or did the last owner clean it up well enough that it wasn’t a problem?

@militarygunguy702 2 года назад

The problem is with stock being so poor and being cleaned up, the metal will look ragged against the new looking stock. And no, the action screws came right out..

@STEVEOMEMES 2 года назад

hey gun guy were would i get the little screws that go in the magazine and hold the clip relecee and the tenchener the push up to rounds ?

I have same gun,but mine is shorter, so i dont know what egzagt model it is...nice litlle gun

@militarygunguy702 Год назад

Damn I didnt know they made them even shorter! Sounds like the 1891 cavalry carbine.

@Darthdoodoo 9 месяцев назад

Does it have the shorter handguard, bayonet and the cleaning rod in the stock? It was the one right before this model i think.

@aaronsmith6020 2 года назад

Would you be interested in fixing a carcano calvary carbine stock for me?

@militarygunguy702 2 года назад

Sure, what does it need and how bad is it? Email me at militarygunguy702@gmail.com Thank you

You should work on your "Uhhhhh". I mean no offense but you say it obsessively & for me, you say it so much I CAN'T sometimes follow what you're saying because it's so frequently that your sentence falls apart.

@militarygunguy702 9 месяцев назад

Actually, I really appreciate that feedback. I obviously was not aware I was using it so much. I will definitely make a more concerted effort to be a bit more concise for future videos. I do still have several that I have not posted. That will probably have quite a few "Uhhs" but if you can get through those, I promise to work on that to make them better and easier to follow. Apparently my ADHD brain has affected my ADHD mouth. Thanks again for your input and have a fantastic weekend!
