Carcano Bolt Disassembly & Reassembly | M91, M38, M41 & Variants

How do you disassemble and reassemble a Carcano rifle bolt? In this Historical Arms Bench episode, we examine the famous Italian Carcano bolt-action mechanism, using examples from the Carcano M38 and M41 rifles. The Carcano bolt design originated with the Modello 1891 and remained in Italian military service through the Second World War. Despite changes in rifle length, chambering and military requirements, its fundamental design remained remarkably consistent. These instructions apply to: Modello 1891 (M91), M91 Cavalry Carbine, M91 TS, M91/24, M91/28, M38, M91/38 and Modello 41 (M41). Whether you're a military firearms collector, historical researcher or simply interested in mechanical engineering, this episode offers a closer look at one of Italy's longest-serving military rifle actions.
