Carcano Rifle & Carbines Handbook Takedown Manual Paperback – May 9, 2009

Good drawings, valuable to have

Another great book in the series. This book is a must as an instruction manual for the Carcano rifle. Nice and clear writing and good illustrations.

good

I bought a 6.5mm Carcano at a local show, but it was not in great condition. I did a web search but there isn't as much on this firearm as there is on more popular models. A quick check on Amazon turned up this book. It is a thin book, but relatively complete. It has a mix of photos and line drawings showing the parts to the rifle, as well as an assembly and disassembly guide.The assembly guide is most of the book. There is also a discussion on identifying various models, as well as some of the accessories that came with the Carcano. There are a couple of pages on cleaning and operating it as well. It's not a big book but it has the essentials.

I have purchased a number of the Skinnerton handbooks for different firearms. They do a good job of identifying the various types and varieties of a particular gun and its accessories. Of great value are instructions for disassembly and operation of the firearm.These books are reasonably priced and very comprehensive..

This had all the information I needed to proper maintain the rifle as well as some of the history of the rifle.

OK, I am not a dyed in the wool "gun guy", but I do like to know how things work. Since a neighbor gave me a 7.35 Carcano I had been looking for just something like this booklet.It shows you the various models and marks of the Carcano rifles, and more importantly, it shows you how to do a field strip, a more detailed take-down for cleaning, and even more details than that.Worth the price in my opinion.

great addition to the library for a rifle little is written about. Shows disassembly and reassembly. Give some history, and model descriptions with pictures. For the price it cant be beat.
