the 6.5 is not new

a 1902 Carcano TS used by Italian Arditi in North Africa and Anzio. possibly built in Germany or Austria. original DAK zeltbahn, and theater painted helmet. lightweight, compact, and minimal recoil for fast follow on shots. with 6X Oigee scope and makes this my #1 WW2 sniper in inventory.

I lost the retaining bolt for scope mount some years ago. It was square head and strange taper threads.
