  Graff & Son carries it. It's more commonly know as 7.35 X 51 Carcano. Graff has a large web site that you can find by GOOGLEing.
  
  Be advised that the Italian rifles used a special clip. If you don't have the clip(s) your SOL. The rifle will only be a single shot. The Graff ammo is newly manufactured commercial packed in 20 round boxes, with no clps.

  Thanks Rufe, I have 5 boxes of vintage ammo and 7 spare clips. I'd like to sell the rifle, but when buyers ask about new ammo, I could never give them a place to purchase it.

  Imagine this;
  Awhile ago I got an old 6.5 on a deal, it came with a full stripper clip. I've had a few of these Carcanos over the years. I just shoved in the ammo and closed the bolt, it was a grubby old gun and it closed hard, quite hard. I never fired it(I wasn't planning on shooting it, just trying the action) then it really didn't want to open. I finally yanked the shell out and IT HAD NO BULLET IN IT and little 'beads' of propellant were everywhere. I had to ram the 7.35 bullet out of the barrel with a piece of threaded rod.........
  A close one what?

  General concensus is that those rifles are worthless except to a desperate collector. The few Carcano rifles I've been exposed to were inaccurate and only marginally safe to shoot.

  Other sources report that they are almost as strong as the Japanese rifles and withstood conversion to 7.92x57.
  
  Any Carcano clip ought to work because the 7.35 is just a necked up 6.5 and the action is the same.
  
  Terni is one of the arsenals where those were made.
  
  Certain Italian police agencies kept using Carcanos into the 1980s.
