For sale is a WWI production Italian Carcano Fucile Modello 1891 (Rifle Model 1891), manufactured by the Terni Arsenal in 1916. This rifle is as original as any battle hardened rifle comes. The serial number on the stock does not match, see photos, which is common in rifles that saw extensive use in the trenches of WWI. There is a fair amount of bluing left on the receiver and barrel, and there is a beautiful patina covering the areas where the blue is worn (should be visible in photos). The magazine has most of the original bluing intact.
There are the typical minor dents and dings of a used military rifle on the stock. One interesting trench modification is that a soldier has made diagonal hatches on the stock under the right side of the rifle. I can only assume that was to assist in getting a better grip on the rifle in the horrid trench fighting conditions.
The bore is in fair shape considering the age and use of the firearm. The rifling is very evident, and there are the typical pits in the bore due to the nature of the ammunition used at that time.
No en bloc clips are included with this rifle. This rifle IS NOT import marked.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
The Match Target is one of four civilian rifles manufactured by Colt. Colt recommends the rifle for competitive and target shooting. Colt has been a longtime manufacturer of the US Military’s M16 and M4 rifles.
