Finn marked carbine at a local shop |

Really tight on funds, put an Enfield on layaway, may do the |
|
same for this one. 1939 date 7.35 Carcano, Finn marked. No bayo, |
|
good bore. Rough SA marked sling. Pretty decent shape, $179 OTD. |
|
I know about the ammo availability issues, but as a collectible |
|
it would fit nicely with my Finn mosins. I know if I ask, |
|
everyone will say "buy it", but looking input anyway. ;D |
|
Finn marked Carcanos are VERY common here but usually bubba |
|
molested, if you see a Carcano carbine chances are it's SA |
|
marked. This is the first I've seen with sling though. I didn't |
|
even have a chance to look for matching numbers. |

If it was 6.5 I'd say go for it. I've never seen commercially |
|
made 7.35. Totally up to you though, it's a fair price IMO. I |
|
have always been fond of the Carcano Rifles, if only ammo was |
|
more available..... |

It would be a nice piece to add to a Finn collection, but the |
|
ass-pain-to-find caliber would keep it from being worth it to |
|
me. I would personally save my money. Also, do I spy a P14 or |
|
M1917 Enfield in the background? Use the money for a down |
|
payment on that if it isn't "pimp shined" ;D Keep me in mind |
|
if you find a 6.5 SA stamped Carcano that isn't bubba'd. I would |
|
be happy to buy/trade one from you. :) |

It's a P-14 in .303. Nice one too but its on consignment for |
|
$700ish. I didnt look too close. No bubba meddling on it. I'll |
|
watch for an SA 6.5. that isnt fubar-by-bubba for you. The owner |
|
recently sold almost all his Japanese rifles. He has two left |
|
that I need to look closer at. |

Good choice. You won't regret it. Worst Case Ontario you don't |
|
like it and you sell it for 200 on funbroker. |
