The M38 is hopefully up next.

Also, Ian McCollum has been doing the Carcano rifle and carbine types.

I wish service was as dynamic and loose as this in OZ.

Love Forgotten Weapons, Ian and Othias & Mae from C&R are my favourite U-tube arms history channels. Still need to do a bit more study on Carcano though, as he is wrong about the Moschetto 1891 being improperly called "Cavalry". Whilst it is true L.Peroux at the Ministry signed the order for adoption as Moschetto 1891, a letter of correction dated 9 June 1893 required the name to be changed to "Moschetto da Cavallaria Modelo 1891" as it was specified for "Cavallaria, Carabinieri Reali, Bersagliesi Cyclisti, alla vigilanza d'ell aereonautica" clearly showing the carbines intended use as a primarily Cavalry, and other troops, weapon. Your timing with these vid is impeccable bladeracer as I am 1/2 way into Carcano carbines at the moment, having 5 variations and hunting the rest, though losing my job is going to slow me down for a while such as having to bypass a Tromboncino recently for lack of funds. Cheers.

Bladeracer 1-ups Ian! Take that!

I noticed he was shooting his service rifle left-handed, and doing it well! I'm trying to get my mate into Service Rifle comp, but a big deterrent is the distinct lack of ambidextrous service rifles readily available to Ozzie shooters (without a cat-D license).

Seeing Ian nailing it like that is encouraging; although I can already here the R/Os barking orders to "keep that BLOODY muzzle DOWN!"

G'day in2anity,
If your mate can master the method of left hand over, it works quite well. Other than that perhaps he could try a lever action Marlin or Winchesters in an approved calibre like 30/30, 44/40 or 45/70 etc. or the Remington 7615P which is also approved for CSD. Another thing I've seen from a Qld shooter was to extend and bend over a 303 bolt handle so it could be more easily grasped with the left hand. This modification was approved at National level, so NSW shouldn't have an issue with it, Cheers.

No1! Thanks for the tips! Are you telling me any 336 or 94/92 in 30/30 or 44/40 is approved? Know of any 10-shot options in 8mm (or under)?

G'day in2anity,
The CSD approved lever actions are as follows,
Henry 44/40 & replicas,
Henry 45 Colt & replicas
Marlin 336 30/30
Marlin 1895 SSS 45/70
Winchester 73 44/40
" " 73 44/70
" " 92 44/40
" " 92 32/20
" " 94 30/30
" " 94 32/40
" " 94 38/55
" " 95 All Calibres
As well as the various single shots like Martini, Sharps etc. As for 10 shot rifles, I have seen German 98 and Swedish 96 & 38 rifles with trench magazines, though the Swede was only experimental, so really only the Rem 7615 and the Enfield 303 for 10 shots. You get used to the stripper clips fairly quickly and apart from Rapid Fire/Mad Minute there is plenty of time to reload a Mauser or Springfield, Cheers.

Thanks mate - i'll be hitting up a few people to make sure the 336 is accepted within our club - I did ask the Chairman a while back about levers, but he basically said they fell under Non-Service. Maybe there was a miscomunication.

Currently I'm using the no4, and yes the 10-shot is ideal for the snaps. I was just thinking about my mate: if there was a 10-shot, ambidextrous service rifle... Nevertheless "adding" some on the snap breaks isn't too bad come to think of it - the need just rarely arrises when you're running the 10-shot though!

Bonus is, I already have a few of those listed lever guns, along with reloading gear - so we might be out of jail for free!
