Carcano Serial Number Identification
The 6.5mm x52 Mannlicher-Carcano M 91/38 short rifle with the serial number C2766 (Klein’s control number VC-836, catalog number C20-T750) was produced in 1940 in the Terni Arsenal. In the past year I got one but it is very devoid of markings on it. Serial Number is RA XXXXX and on the top of the breech is PNA-R. Other than that, there are no markings visible except the same Serial Number stamped in the butt stock side. There they put it as A. Over the serial number. Any idea who made it or when. 6.52 Carcano round fits it.
