Just picked up my 1940 Terni Carcano 6.5mm 91/38 carbine
Still packed in Cosmo

I know! It has been some time since I got a box for of smelly, sticky, Cosmo. Everything has been showing up way too clean lately.

Melnic · May 14, 2015

OK, Yellow sled's PM someone your address and we can send misc. items from around our houses smothered in Cosmo.
I think I have a half chewed up dog bone I can donate. Or maybe a rusty Gotcha Plug from my tackle box?

I took the Carcano to my dad's condo at lunch. I need to look at serial #'s and only ones I could find were on the Receiver and the barrel which both matched.
Bore rifling looked strong.

yellowsled · May 14, 2015

Later Carcano's did not number the bolt so it is correct. Does it say anywhere "Italy" or "Made in Italy" anywhere?

As for Cosmo, maybe someone can just send me a small box filled with Cosmo so I can rub it on my hands and various items around my room. It would feel so much like Home then.

Did anyone get an SKS from this last batch Classic had?

Wondering if they were all as rusty as mine is.

Only on the import stamp underneath front of barrel
6.5 Italy
It has a CAI import stamp old style

"Hand select, better than our last shipment SKS" from Classic.

I am waiting on a response from them on this matter, and have sent them these pictures.

toolness1 · May 15, 2015

COntinued....

Oldcarjunkie · May 15, 2015

Good lord. How much are you guys paying for these Junkers? You can get a nice norinco for 350 and not look back

Abulg1972 · May 15, 2015

What do you expect for an SKS that saw combat?!

There is NO way I would keep that. I would push this as far as I could if their pickets push back.

All the Albanians I have saw combat and aren't close to that bad. :sad20:

That's just pure BS!

I'm really disappointed in Classic. They had some serious customer satisfaction issues about 3 years ago, but they seemed to be really interested in getting their act together. I was openly very supportive of them, and had great experiences ordering from them for awhile.

Then they started slipping, and I was wondering if I was just getting ripped for extra money for "hand select" when others here got better looking rifles than I did without paying any extra.

I may have ordered my last from them. There's absolutely no excuse for that POS parts gun (at best!) being sent to you as a "hand select" from what was supposed to be a good shipment.

P.S. - If that one saw combat, it was used by the Albanian SEALs ... as an ocean-going raft paddle.

Wasn't that the Balkan Sea Wars?

Hand Select? Maybe Hand Select for the parts bin. That should go back friend... that just isn't right.
