yes, everyone should have at least 7 milsurps, it might actually be the law .

So I didn't actually get to bring her home today, they put the permit in for the carcano 6.5x52mm and it was rejected.
Apparently its registered as a 6.5x54.
The dealer assumed it to be a clerical error, which they are fixing up and I'll head back down to collect it on thursday.
But I've been doing some reading and a bunch of carcanos where captured and had the chamber lengthened 1.5mm and were given to Greek troops and others.
Either way it will fire the 6.5 Carcano round (picked up 100 of them) and i won't be able to tell until i can get a better look at the markings and measure some fired brass.
The 'x54' is a .264 pill, yet the barrel would of still been .268, would of been s**t, but not as s**t as bringing a knife to a gun fight lol!

Turns out what I have is an Terni M91/38 short rifle (slightly bubba'd), better pics, shoot report and actual chamber size to follow soon.
