We still laugh about that gun and how bad it was.

A web site here that disagrees with you on the quality of those weapons. They rate it as both very accurate and very durable .. a very good design. There is a notation that during the war, manufacture of some Carcanos was jobbed out to companies not traditionally weapons makers so some they have found to have poor "fit and finish" but that was a very small percentage of them. Maybe that's what your brother had.

A CARCANO HOMEPAGE

Certainly not most of the so-called “Catholics” in the US Congress!

Exactly right.

Drug Lord of the 1930’s.

Right or wrong, that is EXACTLY what they were and where their fortune was made.

Stupid laws and governmental regulations have made a lot of corrupt people wealthy.

“That’s right, Italian Carcanos. “

How ironic! 6.5mm, serial number xxxxxx?

Great cartridge, crappy rifle. But I guess it worked.

No idea, the news-guy said only supporters were along the route, could be a Fox News camera?

During the 1950s, Joe Sr. was considered to be one the ten wealthiest men in the world

The story as I recall was that a few days before the big crash in 1929, Joe sold all his holdings and shorted the market, making a killing.

Great vid. Thanks for the heads up. Needs a thread of it’s own.
