Finn used M38 carcano

This is another one of my finds from this weekends gun show. It is an M38 carcano in 7.35 used by Finland in WWII. And SA marked as it should be.





Notice the SA marking

That tree looks familiar.

I wonder if Bubba got that rear sight adjusted the way he wanted. LOL.

Seriously, thanks for posting. I didn't know the Finns ever used the Carcano.

Very nice find! The much maligned throw down carcano. Thrown down by the Italians because of fear and thrown down by the Finns because of frustration. Are you planning on shooting it? I know where some local ammo is.

Yes and I need some clips.

Nice find.

I was always intrigued with them - in the "late war type-99 crudeness" way.

this stuff shoots good out of my 7.35 and it is affordable, I have been shooting 7.35 for almost 20 years.

I'm going to get some eventually. I ordered some clips yesterday. I wound up bidding on a nicer M38 carcano on gunauction.com and won it. So, this above one is going away and i'll keep the nicer one.
