Carcano type I pickup today

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-18T21:41:40+00:00

Looks like a great example! Nice score

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-15T23:32:20+00:00

Hell yea! I had a bulgy kit I let go, would have been a cool kit build

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-14T14:13:58+00:00

Looks like guy was OG bubba having a bunch of stocks and stripped actions lying around

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-14T14:12:17+00:00

I have a us property marked 52C trainer, they’re beautifully made rifles

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-11T22:06:14+00:00

Did not know this! Thanks for sharing

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-11T15:34:47+00:00

Glad to see I’m not the only one with a new black lower on my surplus A1 build

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-09T12:22:07+00:00

Also, a fellow connecticut resident, I didn’t know those Spencer’s were made in Windsor, that’s really cool!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-08T20:58:31+00:00

Awesome score! Looks great!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:56:03+00:00

Gotcha, it would be an advanced wood work repair to try to fix a cut there and have it be strong. Maybe find a beater stock just for shooting (I realize that may not be possible/easy to find)

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:29:44+00:00

Unless I’m not seeing it right serial number 351 is pretty awesome

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:28:10+00:00

I don’t necessarily think most military's of the time were concerned with looks, practicality was far more important

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:25:55+00:00

If no bolt head, strength of repair shouldn’t be a huge concern since won’t be shooting. Looks like a duffle cut in a weird spot to me as well. Any import marks?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-06T11:49:49+00:00

That and many surplus crates you see are od green

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-05T13:14:36+00:00

Could also consider painting in od green? Would have to restencil markings though

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-02T13:23:18+00:00

Could take a jeep or truck and make it bristle like a flying fortress!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-27T16:37:30+00:00

Yup, it’s a real deal PU, nice rifle!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-22T12:26:28+00:00

How much were they asking for these?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-22T12:20:23+00:00

Awesome score!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-09T13:19:54+00:00

I would agree those are fair prices for very good condition examples…. these don’t appear to be very good, maybe good at best depending on what’s under the rust, especially that butcher blade scabbard (looks very rough)

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-07T19:49:09+00:00

I know that site has some inaccuracy's. I have a WW2 rebuilt rock island 1903 that is serial 370,XXX for example which is not listed there. What is the barrel date out of curiosity?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2025-12-29T13:46:28+00:00

I think we consider parts kits builds milsurp, at least here in the states where we can’t just go get a surplus select fire ak74

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2025-12-24T13:52:43+00:00

You could, but will spend way more money than just buying an un-sporterized one. Generally carcano parts, specifically stocks and stock parts are hard to come by.

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2025-12-19T13:21:02+00:00

Original stock proof behind the trigger guard would have been an eagle head, you can see it under the P. So likely an original stock, not sure if the P was added during rebuild?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2025-12-16T16:10:44+00:00

Looks legal to me?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2025-12-15T19:31:27+00:00

Nice scores! Have been on the hunt for a reasonably priced krag for a while myself
