Italian content is always welcome; folks don't always appreciate the nuance of their situation so things like this shedding light on the matter is lovely.
My great-grandfather was a bersagliere and fought on Mount Grappa during the Great War. Upon his return, he brought home his carcano 91 cavalry. Unfortunately the rifle was lost together with his beretta 17 before I was born...😢
@C&Rsenal, the TS bayonet lug was changed to the rotation type due to the heavier recoil of the short carbine it was known to bounce the earlier bayonet release button and it would fly off when fired.
I'm from the deep woods of north Ontario and I can tell you this Carcano seems like the perfect bush gun; nice and compact to get through brush of a marshland and pushing an unusually heavy bullet for the calibre. I expect mountain troops felt much the same way, albeit for different reasons.
My turn for a Ballistol testimonial. I bought a bottle because of this channel, my favorite use is to keep my bleach battered leather work gloves feeling better than new! Thanks C&Rsenal!
I was going crazy about the "slow deployment" of the bayonet. That's SUPER fast compared to fumbling on your web gear and unsnapping the frog and pulling the bayonet and trying to thread the thing onto a lug, hoping it wasn't caked in the mud you were laying in if you were infantry, or dealing with all of that plus your horse as a calvaryman...but then you remembered it WAS a calvary gun. Yay!
That little spike bayonet may appear diminutive, but when pointed and used with intent I am sure it will be every bit as scary as a knife bayonet. Such light weight little carbines.
My favorite carbine ever in the history of ever! Great pack rifle, and zombie apocalypse rifle, short sturdy and packs a good enough wallop to deal with the undead. Great to fit easily in a trunk of any size vehicle, easily move through built up areas and rooms unlike longer more unwieldy firearms. Love mine and for standard infantry/zombie action usually two hundred yards or less it is perfect. The only problem is that the proper ammunition to feed the carbine is difficult to find and often expensive.
I still find it endearing you guys keep switching between calling them the Carcano and Cacarno... That must be one hell of a habit to try and kick. ^_^ Seriously though, love what you guys make, and how much effort you put into it.
Armando Diaz was personally recorded to have shot a long M91 Carcano at AustroHungarian troops at the Second battle of Piave, guy literally led his own troops to combat, charged with them, absolute mad lad.
Italian Infantry Issue of ammo was 162 Rounds == 27 Clips==9 of 3 clip Packets. I forget what the standard Ammo Crate held, but it was a Platoon related multiple of 3 clip packets ( ie, of 162) so that a full crate equipped a squad. Army ( Alpini) Mules carried 4 Crates. Very interesting supply solution.
@@maewinchester2030I am personally not enjoying the removal of the background music. I grew to love Noyemi Karlaitè's style and contribution. I could stand losing the period tunes during the shooting segments but this is too much. It's dull now.
Well... Hello there! My Carcano 1891 is weird. It has everything the first versions had but it is stamped 1942 XX. Was wondering if normal. It is my faverite rifle to shoot, it beats my 10MM ASR and MH12 (go look that up if you have never heard of it. It's just ridiculous and had NO practical uses.)
Funnily enough on the “youth rifle” part there’s actually an even smaller version of the Modello 91 called the Moschetto Balilla used by the Opera Nazionale Balilla to train the Italian youth in the use of firearms and rifles.
the bayonet may have been if the spring tab in the bayonet handle gummed up you would pull the rifle out of the handle when withdrawing the bayonet but with the ts that wouldn't happen
You know what I want to see? You guys should make your ideal WWI rifle based solely on the technology and designs available at the time. In every video we always hear about how 'oh it's nice that this has so many rounds' or 'I wish this had a semi-pistol grip' etc. So I am genuinely curious, after all these videos, if you were going to take all these different designs and make your own WWI rifle to carry into the trenches, what would that ultimately look like?
The way Mae talks the (maybe not correctly) Cavalry Carbine makes think of a gaggle of period elementary school age Maes in short pants & wool socks, carbine across their back, paper wrapped salami sandwich in their pockets, trekking off from their North Italian village for a days paramilitary ramble in the mountains. 😂
I think the bayonet looking wimpy on the rifle is just an optical illusion of having a relatively-tiny spike on the end of a rifle. 'cause I've had the exact same reaction when putting the bayonet on a MAS-36, where I was like "aw it's so cute, kinda", but then, just holding the spike by itself, the bayonet suddenly becomes much more intimidating.
Whoa, you missed the most important question of the rifle bayonet mount.....Does the mount double as a bottle opener?? Just asking for a friend who likes to drink.
Othais mentioned in the past that they are redoing or adding to existing videos if they receive better information such as a patent or translation, informed about a serious error in animation, in cases where they used a modified model of a gun versus the actual model or get ammunition to demonstrate something
I have a cavalry dated 1900, but it has the front handguard. I'm assuming it had been back to the arsenal at some point? It also has a bent bolt handle. Did the early ones have these, or was it just the infantry rifle?
The carbines all had bent bolt handles. The infantry rifles had straight bolt handles. If yours has a handguard, it picked that up later either from an arsenal or a field armorer.
To answer your question about why so many of the recently imported carbines missed the arsenal updates is that these carcanos that have been imported are in fact Carabinieri surplus rifles. Being a police branch of the military, they did not see the need to actively go about and receive all the updates to rifles as that would require sending them back to the arsenal system. This has resulted in many of their carbines being in previously very rare configurations. Truly a miracle.
The recently imported Carcanos aren't Carabinieri surplus rifles but regular Police (Polizia di Stato) surplus rifles. Same concept, but not Carabinieri, as some importer/retailers claim, either out of ignorance or for marketing reasons.
I bought a cavalry carbine(first pattern), my question is: How did you get them to feed!? I am frustrated by mine not feeding anything from the enbloc.
Probably an issue with the clips rather than the rifle. The most commonly available clips on the market are poor quality Chinese reproductions that don’t work very well.
@@TenaciousTrilobite I have two different types. Sheet steel and brass. Neither will feed a cartridge from the rifle. Basically, I have to remove the bolt, slide the cartridge under the extractor, and then shove it all back in.
@@cawensil3264 In that case, it could be your clip latch. May either be gunked up or worn out. Some of them also have weak follower springs that can’t quite push the rounds up high enough
@@TenaciousTrilobite The rounds come up, but jam half way. They never get under the extractor, and never make it into ye chamber. It REALLY locks the gun up. Have to beat it open with a fiber hammer or grenade it with your foot on the bolt handle, even then it take several minutes worth of fiddling with it to get the now deformed round out of the gun.
I was waiting for this video and was so happy to see it pop up. However - after 30:00 - "Yeah", "Uh-huh", "Sure", "Yes", "Right" every two damn seconds. Jesus Christ that is distracting. Let the man finish a sentence for the love of God.
When we can, we pull and fix folks! YT algo be damned, it's Carcano Carbines Round 2!!
For those of us who aren't eagle-eyed, what required fixing?
Gotta appreciate a creator who prioritizes quality over view count
Thank god, was looking for it and couldnt find, wondered what was up
Round 2*
Pull game is underrated.......

Agreed
Been a while since a reupload. I appreciate the commitment to accuracy.
Being in Germany, I use Ballistol as my gun oil. I wasn't even aware that there were others. It's the go to over here.
I mostly just use plain mineral oil but that stuff does smell kinda nice
Mobil 1 here
For me the Carcano TS is the most beautiful carbine ever devised.

The carcano cavalry carbine has got to be the one of the coolest looking bolt action rifles of all time.
Thanks to you I started using Ballistol! I love the stuff.
Woo! The "cavalry" Carcano is quite possibly my favourite rifle of the era, it's such an excellent combo of badass and cute. :D
Thanks!

I have this exact rifle. Mine’s from 1943. I have ammo but haven’t shot it yet. It’s a jewel.
Absurd dedication to detail is why I am here. Always looking forwards to the next video.
I appreciate the attention to detail!
Thank you for your continued efforts and dedication.
Was sad to see this deleted, very happy to see the reason

I bought Ballistol oil spray for my Chassepot originally, but I have used it for many other things since and it's great!
It's great on toast!
@@dino2gnt Ballistol and peanut butter is my favourite combo!
The more Carcanos, the better! Great video on this small guns. I can not wait for thee inter war years developpements episode(s).
Folding bayonets are just cool, as is correcting your mistakes!
This is the cutest little rifle ever, I love it.
Thank you for posting. I love the carcanos
Another awesome video!
I seen a new upload and clicked on it thinking WTF i thought I watched this yesterday. Oh neat an update already.

So good I watched it twice

What was changed in the episode?
Anyhow great to see Carcano shorty again 😆

"Shoots straight. Costs a penny. Carcano."
I can't tell what changed. Gosh darn my terrible memory! Gosh darn it straight to heck!
Thanks for the video
Mae it's "car-can-o" not ca-carno lol! Seriously though great redo guys these are such cool little rifles! Thank You!
Those moschetto bayonets make great monopods
Well I hadn’t finished the first one so hell yeah, round 2
Omg I was just watching ur old video!
Carcano wasn't the reason Italy had problems in wars... Luigi Cadorna looks around...

I think this is a rematch
So what is the big problem with to short lenght of pull.
I'm slowly working my way through the series and have noticed that you no longer have period songs. 😢 What happend, copy-right strikes or something?
They dropped the strict WWI focus, and newer songs fall after the rolling copyright cutoff
The side lock bayonet was designed because the bayonet was launching off during recoil
That TS has had a hard life.
40:43 quick the austrians are coming!
