The Carcano in its varoious versions. Not only was the gun crap but the ammo was awful, loaded with different powders and powder charges and hangfires out the wazoo. Then to beat all, the ammo came in clips and had several different ammo loads on one clip. Poor spegetti snappers got a piece of garbage and garbage to put in it as an enhancement.
Best, Ed But, The French have to win most favored nation status for producing the most consistant trash for the longest period of time.

The Carcano turned out to be a very strong action - but then, so is a rock. The sights were primitive and dreadful. Late war carbines had a fixed block of steel with a crude notch......
Never shot one - only ammo I could find locally was that Norma stuff that you had to mortgage your house to buy a box of. A buddy has the french MAS 36 and MAS49/56 rifles - they are actually very good shooters! I always did wonder about the lack of safety though. There were a few MAS36 rifles modified for hunting with safeties added (similar to the SKS safety) but they are scarce here.
