Cut Away Model 38 Carcano carbine

Chuck — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:00:23 +0000

This rifle was on the last Rock Island auction. Unfortunately I was not the winner of the bid. However, it is a beautiful example of an interesting piece.

It would make a great addition to an Italian or cut away collection.

By now most of you that come to this site know that I have a thing about cut away weapons. They are a great tool in understand how weapons work and in my case allow me to see the functioning of the guns that we make. I own a number of cut away weapons and have photograph a number of other ones as well. As I am always on the look out for them I thought I would share some of them that are currently available at the Cowan Auction house.

Webley Mk 1

Chuck — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:00:11 +0000

I have decided to do a short series of posts on the Webley and Enfield revolvers in my collection. The first of the series is the Mk1 455 revolver.

The one in my collection is a cut away pistol.

This is one of any order of 10,000 pistols bought in 1887. This pistol was later converted to a armories cut away gun. All Mk1 guns were black powder guns.

A close up of the left side cut away section.

Action open.

You can see from this photo that this is a Mk1 and not a Mk1* as the shield has not been modified.

Later Mk1 were converted to Mk1* and Mk1** with the addition of a Mk2 pistol shield that was dovetailed into its breech and by adding a new barrel and cylinder.
