The above link shows the steps needed to disassemle and re-assemble a
Model 91/38 Mannlicher Carcano.
Please review the instructions and imagine Lee Oswald performing the
disassembly in the Paines garage that early morning. Then imagine Lee
placing the twelve separate parts in a brown paper bag ( very water
absorbant) that was too small to conceal the stock of the rifle, and
walking a couple of blocks in the rain to Frazier's house. Then
imagine Lee taking the bag of parts from the back seat of Frazier's 53
Chevy, and placing the bag at right shoulder arms and marching off in
the rain like a soldier on parade.
The goofy LNer's believe that Lee Oswald cupped the bag of rifle
PIECES in his right hand and march off to the TSBD. The fact that they
believe such garbage demonstrates quite clearly that they are gutless.
arrogant, idiots.
Now review the instructions for re-assembling the rifle, and imagine
Lee Oswald performing this task just minutes before the murder of
President Kennedy. If he had been the assassin he would have been
under tremedous stress to get the rifle re-assembled and ready for
action while looking over his shoulder to be sure nobody was
approaching the area.
Then imagine him firing that rifle with better than world class
accuracy without ever checking to see if the rifle was zeroed in.
If you can imagine Oswald performing these actions, and believe he
really performed them, then you are in dire need of a psychiatrist.

6.5 Italian Carcano Serial Numbers
Carcano M91 Serial Number Lookup
Top of the chamber has Terni stamped on the top. On the left side of the stock is a crown marking in a rectangle and the letter A with 40 below it. 'AK' is stamped under the crown markings. Serial number is 4 digits. This little Italian Military carbine started life in 1918 as a full size Model 1891 Carcano rifle made by Terni. After service in World War 1 sometime between 1924 and 1929 the Italian Military took 260,000 of the Model 1924 rifles and converted them to the T.S. Carbine pattern, including this one. Regardless of Bloomgarden's conviction that each Carcano made bore a unique serial number, the fact is that several Carcanos may have carried the serial number 2766 with or without the 'C' prefix. After the war Carcano rifles and carbines found their way back to the RE Terni plant by the thousand.
