What to Expect from RTI Italian Surplus Carcano Carbines

It’s no doubt that the cheapest military surplus rifle available right now is the Carcano. These World War I and World War II work horses of the Italian military have just been in abundant supply recently. They are priced pretty cheap because there is not a lot of enthusiasm for them. In an Instagram poll I did on about a year or so ago, 58% of followers said they don’t have a Carano in their collection.
Royal Tiger Imports or RTI is one of the companies who specializes in receiving them from overseas and getting them into the military surplus market here. PW arms is another importer. A lot of people say that the Carano is trash, but I’ve come to see that these ones recently straight from Italy are actually in pretty good shape compared to previous imports such as the Ethiopian surplus or surplus from right after World War II.

Nice. I have 2 from RTI, both Italian imports, both Brescia. 1917 and a 1941 fascist marked. Great bores, otherwise good + +.

I had jumped on them as soon as I found out through a friend that they weren’t from Ethiopia! They are imported from Italy and his Carcano had a nice bore and overall very good appearance.

In Australia we have a good number of Carcano's around in good to very good condition, & generally still at good/reasonable prices (A$300-$400 which is approx US $200-$300). None seem to have come ex Ethiopia. Only thing is theres very little variation in models as 70% are 91/38 Carbines (fixed sight) & around 25% being full length rifles (mostly 91/41 models), with very few Cavalry Carbines or TS's ever seen on the open market for sale. Being a Commonwealth country, SMLE's (No.1 Mk 3's & No.4 Mk 1's) are our most plentiful Military Surplus rifles on the open market re availability (priced fm $A400 - A$1500, depending on model, age & condition). ...& like the US, prices for K-98's has gone nuts in the last 8 years (anywhere from A$1000-$4000...with the average more around A$2000-$3000 (for Vintage/German WW2 in 8mm, with RC's in around the A$1400-$2000 bracket. But with K98's the prices jump around depending also on how scarce the maker was & condition. Well that's my observations anyway in Australia. 🇦🇺 As always..."experiences may vary ". Cheers

Good luck finding the ammo! And, when you do, it is very expensive. Maybe someone will find some surplus to flood the market?

Ah - you have some good ammo there - these need .268" ish diameter bullets. I see a lot of mention of .264" bullets being used - "standard" 6.5mm bullets used by 6.5x55 and the modern 6.5 cartridges. Thanks for the review.

I got my carcano carbine1899-1918 hand selected from RTI and it came back with rust and lots of dings. the hand select option said it'd be in very good to excellent condition.

A few of mine had a lot of dings, it sucks but they ship these things in crates so I can imagine they get tossed around a lot in the shipping process.

I bought my Carcano carbine from Classic Firearms years ago when they got the batch of Italian Carabinieri issued rifles, and for $160 it's been a great buy!

Just got mine from RTI, hand select good bore, very happy with my purchase! Wood was rough on upper hand guard and the stock and such. Little bit of rusting on the barrel and receiver, probably will clean up nicely though. I did order brass clips but got mat black instead but whatever. Can’t wait to clean it up and shoot it when Sentinel gets their new ammo out.
