This Italian Vetterli-Carcano Model 1870/87/15 was made in 1890 at the Torino Arsenal and converted during WWI. It is chambered in 6.5x52mm Carcano and has a 33.5-inch round barrel with a bright bore and well-defined rifling. The serial numbers on the receiver and stock match, the bolt is unmarked, and the metal has an even patina. The stock shows handling and service marks but remains sound. The action is smooth and functions correctly, and the listing marks the rifle as used.

Collectors of Italian military bolt rifles will focus on the conversion history and the matching serials. The original black-powder design was reworked during the war, which is the history the listing emphasizes. The smooth action and sound stock suit display, study or a shooter who wants a functioning historic rifle, and the service wear is part of the configuration buyers expect.
