Part of the draw with the Martini Henry for me at least, IS the cartridge. It's so out of the realm of what we consider a normal cartridge today, even considering .45-70, BP or not. If someone really wanted to shoot a Martini in another caliber, I'm sure someone could have a replica made with a new barrel, the Martini is really a very simple rifle and it wouldn't be an impossible task to build a whole new one from scratch even as a one-off, then chamber it in .45 long colt or whatever else you fancy.

lucky the b grades are normally rusty as all hell

Another thing, both my GSG STG 44 .22LR rifles are uncanny accurate.

M1 carbine beat everyone to it. M1 carbine just worked and when later it was made full auto the M2 carbine will rock and roll! The M1 carbine put many an enemy in the ground, many an enemy!

Perfect thank you!

This is the best video I've seen covering this gun, great job! Just ordered one yesterday, super excited to get it

I have a gewehr 88/05/35 Turk "Mauser", a 1903/33, an 1893/33, and a 1954 "ATF" Turk Mauser. I just need a regular M38 K.Kale to round out my collection goal for these. I absolutely LOVE these turk mausers. Great video man!

Wow! You got to unbox at home instead of at an FFL Dealer! In California no less! LOL! I am from Northern California born and raised, live in Georgia now. Needless to say, gun laws are different here, but not so different that rolling the dice with RTI means you can unbox one from them at your home. I am four for four with RTI. 3 Carcano's and one MAS 49/56, which after a new learning experience in how to restore a f*cked bore from Ethiopia, might be my favorite rifle now! :) Not just collectable, usable!

i know it’s 2 years late but where did you get this carcano

I got a k.kal 1944. I had it reblued due to the previous owner had it outside in a barn and rusted really bad. It has great rifling and the stock is gorgeous

Ive been burned real bad by RTI. If you can find a particular milsurp anywhere else get it there. Don't try and save the hundred bucks!

For reference: K.Kale is the name of the tiny city, Kırıkkale (Qiriq-kaleh), where the state arms factory was following foundation of the Republic. It can be see on on 6:23.

You have to site your gun in long as in 500 meters to start and 300 meters short for this .338 8x56R rifle. It was meant to shot across windy alps at Italian soldati. Not to be a zero at 100 meters as I understand. It's 500. Nickname mule kicker. The Italians even had a song about this rifle. czcams.com/video/piWeRcolSX8/video.html

Could always lean on a butt plug inside the source

Bro deactivated PPSH 41 was painful to watch

Дятел !

I have been thinking about this semi auto pistol. Two weeks ago I shot a full auto Wilson tube gun. I thought it was amazing. From the videos of the semi, it looks like the full auto has less recoil. I thought it was more fun than a select fire MP-5. The cyclic rate was so slow. I found the stock uncomfortable and unnecessary. I shot most of the rounds with the stock folded. I also found the sights were not needed in full auto with my target 40 yds away. The recoil was so mild you could walk your rounds in. I can't afford the MG so I thinking about the semi.

Great review, and I like the history! Seems like a good clone. Where did you get your sling from?

Excellent research and presentation on a fascinating n rifle. Thank you!

Mine has 1935 stamped on it? What mode would that been? Also all the letters have tan ish paint of them, I only found a few pictures online of painted letters on the receiver.

Has your bold handle ever popped off when you were shooting yours? Cuz when I was shooting mine it popped off and hit me in the temple.. I have it on video too. I was wondering if I lost a piece to it but it seems like they come off easy? Idk.. I feel like if they come out this easy it’s dangerous..

I can't stop hearing the "Bella Ciao" song everytime I see a video about a Carcano.

That’s exactly why they kept the m90/93 style bayonet lug, to just keep the same bayonet for all of them. They had a few Gew. 98’s and vz. 22’s with the Gew. 98 style front band/bayonet lug but those are late purchases and decidedly in the minority. If they had to do a major refurb of a Gew. 98 they generally ended up in the m938 configuration. I have one that was rebarreled in 1948 and reconfigured to the m938 style.

I have a tip for royal tiger imports buy individual list if you want to know what your getting. Otherwise you have to roll the dice. Keep in mind that alot of the firearms come from Africa and were used by mostly untrained troops or gorilla war fighters. Who were handed a rifle and told how to shoot it and sent to fight. Then when the war was over they were stacked in open air warehouses aka chicken coup like fire wood for 50 years. So have low expectations. I hear the itialian rifle came from both itialian armory and Ethiopia. The ones that came from Italy are in good shape not so much from Africa. Thanks for the video good job.

I've had one for over 20 years. It is convenient to buy the older guns I want and have them shipped directly to me. I've only sold a couple when I wanted to buy something else. It's not a license to do business. It does help get discounts on other items too, such as gun parts and needs from Brownell's.

My 95 doesn’t have any letters on chamber, just some small numbers

That’s weird! I just pulled 2 clips out of display case dated 1938 with the Eagle but my clips have ridges

Wow, what a negative persicity dick. RTI gives us this great opportunity to buy some very cheap surplus rifles and you poop poo all over it saying. "don't buy from them they lie" and all this. They don't lie. They describe them in bad grade and sell them in bad grade. Because most Ethiopian rifles were used until they were used up and then stored in a giant tool shed. So yeah they are going to be beat and worn out. The information to know exactly what your getting is all on their website. If you don't want to buy a shitty M-95 for $150, you can go else where and buy and nice one for $650-700. You get what you pay for. Don't expect just cause they have a bunch of them they are just going to let them go from some great deal. They are a business trying to make money and they put a lot of work into bringing these to the US market. I don't work for RTI. I am just a gunsmith who finds their guns to be a great source for parts or restoration projects. If you want to be lazy about it and shoot a gun right out of the box, go to any gun shop. If you want something cheap, interesting, and in need of some TLC before you shoot it. Shop RTI. But don't expect cheap and ready to shoot.

Hi @garandguy2553 - My grandfather passed away in March of this year. He left me three guns. He lived in Texas and we are in North Carolina. What would I need to do to ship the guns to myself? Or would I still have to ship to a dealer to hold for background check and I pick it up? There's a lot of information online and most seems to contradict the other.

Does it have to be me who signs for the firearm for example if im not the one whos home when it comes

🇦🇺😎👍Interesting. In Australia the only gun stuff allowed in the mail is slings , empty cases or projectiles. etc…Everything has to be picked up at a shop in person by a licenced firearms holder . Any firearms purchased must be accompanied with a police permit to own the firearm. They like to limit the amount of stuff we own…great video🏁

The story about Poland being invaded during WW2 actually shows that rifle would be used as opposing forces and the allied nations had the right to take the rifle under spoils of war and would be documented 😁 maybe the Sako factory should reproduce a more modern version with variants of different calibers ! I would like to see A .223/5.56 NATO replica rifle with a over/under see through scope mount with scope

The Austrian M95 Mannlicher didn't have rimmed 6.5 mm cartridges.

The Vetterli doesn't have a vitali magazine anymore. Because of conversion to 6.5 mm?

4:50 Re. the Carcano Sights- The older models had adjustable Sights with a 300 meter Zero; and them adjustments from 450 meters to 200 meters. The Mod 38 in 7.35mm had a Sight fixed for 200 meters, and the Mod 38 in 6.5mm was fixed to 300 meters; due to the 6.5s slower Velocity etc. But as stated here, the Mod. 41 had Battle Zero of 200 meters; owing to the closer nature of modern combat.

The gun looks plasticky and oh boy, the disassembly looks painful as hell.

Shit man i have a ton of bolts and 6.5 carcano is already loud as fuck out of my ts i cant imagine shooting 8mm mauser out of one. Although the wordt guns to me are short carbine 30-06 like my half pistol grip 03a3 apringfield or columbian mauser

If I use it to buy a gun at a regular gun dealer, what does it do for me?

I have decided to order one of these rifles, but i dont know if i should order from j&g sales or rti?

6:22 You got it backwards. The K98 is a long receiver and the M48 bolt was too short prevention the front locking lugs to reach the locking surface in the receiver preventing you from turning down the bolt. On the M48/M48A/M247/47 the receiver is shorter and the K98k bolt is over inserting passing the locking surface. Measure the bolts with a tape measure to see what I mean.

Did you select the pre 1918 option for the carcano or was that luck of the draw?

Thanks for the warning.

What years was the 464 manufactured. I understand they are no longer being manufactured

I have to agree here, with the absence of photos of the left side, it certainly paints the picture of potentially deceptive practices. It begs the question, with all the detailed photos, why were there none of the left side? Sorry for your experience here, but I am grateful for the PSA. Thanks.

Don't give up on Chase, be polite, be firm ask for the supervisor. Many vendors are great, you found the exception.

Where do they sell this riffle at?

just wrong, i've only bought guns on gun broker using a outfit called LOCK STOCK &BARREL and they been great. very detailed pictures and great customer service and fast shipping. now i know to avoid Davis brothers at all cost. thank for sharing your story.

Hey Garand Guy this is rude and i will put this up on my channel. Davis Brothers messed up big time.. this video has 2.8 K views and counting. they gotta be stupid not to take that rifle back. I will go to there site tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind. I subed ya too

Do you have an email, I'm curious about mine. I want to know if the receiver is remade in ww2 or a reused ww1
