For almost 55 years, the Carcano served the Kingdom of Italy. When it was adopted in 1891 as the country's first smokeless-powder firearm, it was a cutting-edge design that defined the modern service rifle. It went on to fight in World War I, and it carried the country from the disaster of Caporetto in 1917 to the triumph of Vittorio Veneto in 1918. A generation later, Carcano-equipped Italian troops fought for the Axis. Read More

Starting in 1974, Bob Reese took over production of a commercially manufactured, semi-automatic-only version of the M14 service rifle, ensuring the future of the fledgling "M1A." Reese's move included continuing to sell the rifle under the brand Springfield Armory—which had been chosen to honor the former U.S. government arms-production facility in Massachusetts where many M14s were made. It was an auspicious re-birth for a storied name that had been known since the American Revolution. Read More

Ownership of a 6.5x52 mm Italian-chambered Carcano rifle is a strange curiosity indeed. After firing one, you'll quickly realize why they are deemed "Italian tomato stakes." The accuracy of these rifles is atrocious, and ammunition is scarce at best. However, for budget-minded shooters and collectors, they are still a popular option. Here is a recipe that I cooked up that generates usable accuracy and turns this inexpensive surplus rifle into an ideal truck gun. Read More
