ZEROING AND OSWALD’S MARINE CORPS SCORE BOOK

PART 3 — THE TRUTH ABOUT OSWALD’S M91 CARCANO 6.5mm SHORT RIFLE

 

There are dozens of true Carcano owner/experts who know each part and will be happy to tell you every step of its long and colorful history.  Their knowledge and expertise give credibility to their opinions.  Yet to those who have never fired a rifle in their lives, the Carcano is the worst rifle ever.  Be careful what you tell people you believe.

It was manufactured for over 50 years for armies around the world.  Its 14 major versions included carbine, short rifle, long rifle, 7.35mm, 6.5mm, with bayonet or without, curved or straight bolt handle, and fixed or adjustable sights.  The M91/38 was a superior weapon with breakthrough state-of-the-art design, particularly in the bolt action.  The U. S. Army’s Ballistics Research Laboratory found Oswald’s 1940 Carcano equal to the M14, the standard-issue U. S. rifle until 1970*.  Its sights were not adjustable which is why Oswald optioned the 4x18 scope with windage and elevation screws.

If you want to learn the truth and not simply win an argument, learn from the real experts.  For those with decades of hands-on experience in disciplines essential for solving these mysteries, theorizing is unnecessary.
