My dad brought back from WWII a version of an Italian carcano that I have been unable to identify.
It apparently shoots a caliber smaller than the 6.5mm, and appears to be about 3/4 scale or smaller from a Terni Carbine he also brough back.
It has all Military markings, folding spike bayonette, like on later Chinese SKS's.
It is just like a regular Carcano carbine in every way, except it shoots something smaller than the usual 6.5 mm, and looks like it got hit by a shrink ray.
Any help with identifying this would be greatly appreciated.
