Well, I already have a Carcano.... but after ho-humming on this for 2 weeks, I bought another. The one I have currently (from a different sponsor in the past) is pretty rough. Hopefully the new one I ordered from GNG Co. has a bit less character. With an additional small item from their accessories section, it's under $350 to my door.... I would be losing money if I DIDN'T buy it

EDIT to add: Does anyone know what range the Cavalry Carbines are zero'd at? I currently have one of the TS models and had to build up the front sight to get it on paper at 100 yards as it was manufactured with a 300 yard zero so was hitting very high at 100

Due to demand we are bringing back the sale - until Christmas or until stock runs out!

Thanks GNG, order placed. Now to cross my fingers you send me one with a nice bore - (order No. 29328, hint-hint - LOL )

I was able to get to the post office today and pick up my new rifle. It is a 1936 manufacture date with, what I would call, overall good appearance with only minor surface rust. No time today to give it a good thorough cleaning, so all I did was add a little grease around the bolt and cycle it a couple times. The bore looks good, a little dark, but no signs of pitting or missing rifling. Rifle was very well packaged for transport. I would not hesitate to buy from GNG in the future

Well I got mine today. A Brescia 1941. Beat to hell and back with a stick that clearly saw serious action, but the bore is nice and clean. Looks to be a non refurb, but with a mismatched terni bolt. A few screw heads were buggered and needed a little cleanup.

I was hoping for better, but it's a lottery and the bore makes up for the very rough stock. I'd call the gun nra fair. Oh well, character has some charm of its own.

Is anyone getting cleaning rods in the butt stocks? Mine is sadly empty.

Overall dimp, yours looks orders of magnitude nicer than mine. Congrats.

Sounds like they have a 300 yard zero as well. Gun Jesus does a very informative video and this rifle.

Mine came with 2 short sections of cleaning rod.... screwed together they are too short to go through the barrel. This is my second Carcano, and this one is in better shape than the one I bought 2 years ago from a previous sponsor. Hopefully I can get out in the New Year and give it a go. Just need to find a new source of cast .268 projectiles since JetBullets closed up shop
