Carcano cowboy strikes again... but what is it?
Picked up a Carcano carbine in 6.5mm at a show the other day for $90 in excellant condition, but am a bit unsure of the model, I hate to say. It looks like a 91/28 with the short forestock in front of the rear barrel band, but all of these that I have seen have adjustable sights; this has the fixed sights. I can post pics later if need be, once they are developed. So what is it, and what is it worth?

this is starting to be like a soap opera... "and the dead guy came back- by a love stronger than the light calling him heavenward, carcano...carcano..." i can hardly wait for the next episode... 0 -
Yeah, honest to God, I did not intend to buy one when I went into the show. Maybe I can hit something with this one, hmm? Thanks for the websight, I already knew about it... and the gun I got ain't there.

WEll I've managed to track it down. It is a M91/38 Moschetto TS, worth about $120 in excellant shape according to Gaetano Liberatore
who runs that big Carcano sight, so I did well for my $90.
