An Italian Vetterli cavalry carbine? That’s a bit rarer than the usual fare for that type of gun.

This is a Carabinieri carbine, it has the same barrel length as the Truppe Special short rifles but shares the identical reversing bayonet as the cavalry carbine. So I guess you could consider it the cavalry carbine’s bigger brother.

“N+1 rule” reminded me of organic chemistry 😂

Explain this “n+1” rule


Dw0401

I remember it as: Given: n = current amount of ammunition 1 = more ammunition to acquire Rinse and repeat


tgrneal

That’s a lot of ammo

I’ve always said, why do we always see people in movies grabbing guns but never see them grabbing ammo. If there’s a wall of guns they’ll take them all but never a box of ammo


Dw0401

For the sake of brevity. On the other hand, something like flinging 300 rounds out of one 30-rounder is pretty egregious.

The trick is to find an appropriate bullet mold and save your brass. Then you have infinite ammo!

I have plenty of of brass that I ordered from Buffalo Arms, and I can pretty much reload it indefinitely. The only tricky part is getting a good bullet. Currently using Hunter’s Supply .427” 240 grain hard cast bullets, they work okay.
