I bought two carcanos. B grade carcano 1891 rifle with all parts and no crack but dirty bore. And cavalry carbine with rifling in mint condition but there is a crack on butt of the stock (with an attempt of a stock repair with nails) and uneven butt plate. I was supposed to get a carcano en bloc clip with the carbine but there wasn't one included so I am contacting RTI about that.
Looks good cleaned up . One reason I have not acquired a M95 in the original caliber is because of the ammo . I would like to know how it shoots with the ammo you have & have you purchased any from Casto’s Curios ? If so will you be shooting it also ?
Did you order one of the B grade Carcano long rifles? My FFL has mine, but my background check got delayed and I haven't seen anyone else with one yet.
@@tfusilier44 Is it what you expected for a B Grade from RTI or did it surprise you? Honestly haven't been burned by RTI yet and wonder if I can keep the streak going.
karl i was able to find someone who reloads thru a friend that belongs to local gun club that was willing to get the dies needed for this caliber. he did it for a buck a round. i also found some brass on GB that someone had resized. buck and a half with shipping for 40. a little pricey all together but still cheaper than original stuff that shoudnt be trusted. hopefully will get to shoot it soon.
@@usna98 I’ve heard of them, I want to test their 8X50, but I was going to say, is that original 8X50 is .323 they had a expanding base that is why it didn’t fit the muzzle in my opinion
Mine cleaned up nice. Bore seems good. But worn. Fingers crossed 🤞
Jesus man, this cleaned up extremely well
Thanks, yeah it's a really nice stock.
Outstanding
Thanks for watching!
That cleaned up nice thanks for showing!
Thanks!
Looks good. I'm awaiting delivery of my first RTI order at the moment.
Awesome...hope you get a good one!

Sounds like some decent projects...thanks for watching!
@@usna98 Yep, they are sending me a carcano en bloc clip to my house.
looks good! my bore ws not quite as bad but extremely dirty. rest of it cleaned up great!
Good to hear! Shot it yesterday and miraculously no keyholes.
Looks like the rifle cleaned up beautifully! The wood grain looks even better now!
Thanks...much appreciated!
Looks good, Castos curios makes 8X50 but you gotta catch him early as he sells out quick.
Yep, I snagged some recently. Thanks!
Sucks about the terrible bore, but it cleaned up wonderfully. The stock is gorgeous.
Thanks...bringing it to the range tomorrow. Expecting keyholes galore.
Looking good. I really need one of these in my collection. Look forward to the shooting video.
Thanks...going to the range tomorrow. Stay tuned for upcoming vids.

I'll post some video soon. I shot some 8x50 surplus and it was not great. I bought some of Casto's stuff but haven't shot it yet.
Just tried to order one RTI says hand select out of stock. Only thing I'm concerned about is a shot out bore as barrels in 8x50 are non-existent.
That's always the gamble you take when buying from RTI.
Unfortunately its pretty common for the acceptance date to be missing or worn. Really nice stock with that grain pattern.
Thanks! Going to shoot it tomorrow...expecting many keyholes!

I bought one of the long rifles when they first came in but it wasn't graded. Great stock, but bore was pretty shot out. I have a video on my channel.
I'll have one up on my channel by the end of the week.

@@kaseyturchin4390 I don't have it yet but should get it Wednesday or Thursday and do an unboxing video.
Was this a" had select" purchase ?
Nope...I never do hand select.
Did you BLO the stock channel? Also how did you source ammo?
Danish oil. I'm going to make a video soon about hard to find ammo...stay tuned.

What 8X50 ammo do you use?
I picked up some Bulgarian surplus from Victory a few years back. There's also a new company making it...Casto's Curios.
