Can anyone tell me what rifle this is?

[Guest A10thunderbolt]

I have a work accociate that had this rifle and was wondering what it was.

Looks like a Carcano carbine of some sort.

agreed, from the looks.

The triangular thing on the stock is not part of it, I think it was added by the GI or bubba who owned it.

It also looks like the safety or something has had a bolt knob welded onto it.

Both of those things seem off to me, but i am no expert. The rest of it looks right.

I added another PIc of the numbers on the barrel.

Eh link the second pic? I tried to get at it but it was too much trouble.

I don't think anybody can tell you much beyond that it's a modified Mannlicher Carcano 1891/38 carbine.

It's a Carcano for sure. M91/24 made by Terni.

Bubba's pistol grip and second bolt knob are not original.

Look about halfway down on this page....http://www.cruffler.com/historic-december01.html

Any idea why it has two bolt handles?

[Guest TankerHC]

6.5 Carcano, I hunted with one for 2 years and took half a dozen does with it. IIRC isnt that also what took Kennedy out?

It looks like someone with more time than sense added it to the safety? It may be a rig for and older or handicapped shooter or something? Thought it would look cool? For the same reason that someone mounted a chopped up mosin in a plastic tactical stock?
