Need help finding surplus rifle

[Otto Skorzeny]

Where can I get my hands on a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle? Presumably in 6.5 mm.

Any ideas? Thanks!

When I have a specific rifle in mind, I start checking these auctions and search for it:

www.auctionarms.com

www.gunbroker.com

I had a nice 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano a year or so back, but when I discovered that the ammo is $1/round, I swapped it off for a Mosin (+ cash) so I could get cheap ammo. ;)

Thanks for the help!

heres 2 more. although they have been slightly sporterized, the price is right. they are 6.5 carcano which is a helluva lot easier to find than 7.35.

FWIW ammunition is loaded commercially by Hornady and Prvi Partisan of Serbia in 6.5 Carcano.
