Answer
Hello Anthony.
  Your rifle is an Italian Carcano. They were manufactured in several calibers, and models. Beginning in 1891, the Modello 1891, also known as the M91, was chambered in 6.5x52mm mannlicher. In 1938, the Modello 1938, was chambered in 7.35x51mm. Also, in 1941 they added the model 91/41. There were some changes made for the Netherlands, Russians, and Japanesse military use, so it is very important that you can see examples of these to determine which model you have. I have found a web site that will help you do just that. Search for 'pictures of carcano rifles'. There are several dozen pictures you can pull up and compare to your rifle. I hope this helps and thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage
