What’s Included
- Terni Arsenal Modello 91/41 rifle in 6.5 Carcano
Produced by Fabbrica d'Armi di Terni during WWII, the rifle carries a clear FAT 42 crowned acceptance mark indicating 1942 production. Additional inspection and acceptance stamps appear around the rear sight base and receiver ring, providing authentic period provenance.
This Modello 91/41 configuration uses a 27.2 in stepped barrel and a blued steel receiver, paired with a hardwood stock and steel buttplate. The stock includes a right-side sling bar with steel escutcheon and a rear sling swivel, consistent with Italian service features of the era.
Sighting is via an unhooded front blade and a tangent rear sight with sliding cursor, graduated from 300 to 1000 meters for practical field adjustment. The rifle feeds from a 6-round Mannlicher-type en-bloc internal magazine, as standard for the pattern.
Matching serial numbers on the barrel shank and buttstock add to its appeal for collectors seeking marked components that align with known Terni output. The 13 in length of pull supports a straightforward, service-rifle fit.
