This is a very nice Italian M38 Carcano cavalry carbine that was manufactured by FNA-Brescia during WWII. Mechanically this carbine works good. The bolt is a little stiff, but it does feed and extract like it should. This carbine does not appear to be import marked. It has what looks like a arsenal refurbished stock and a new repro handguard installed. This carbine will make a great shooter for your milsurp collection.
