I believe the "Carcano" being discussed is the Type I in
6.5x50mm caliber. In my opinion it looks like a cross between
a Carcano and an Arisaka. Its actually not a bad looking rifle.
Mexico also made some Arisakas in 7x57mm with the Mexican Crest
on the reciever. Most were bought up by the Russians in WWI
I have never seen one in the flesh. Hopefully someday Ill walk
into a pawnshop and find one, but I seriously doubt it.
