Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The R.E. Terni Carcano 91/41 Fucile represents one of the final standardized evolutions of the long-serving Carcano rifle series, produced during World War II as Italy sought to streamline and modernize its infantry arms. Manufactured primarily at the Regia Fabbrica d’Armi di Terni—often marked Terni or FAT (Fabbrica d’Armi di Terni)—the Model 91/41 retained the basic Carcano action but reintroduced the full-length rifle configuration with a longer barrel for improved ballistic performance. This design choice was intended to address concerns about the reduced muzzle velocity and accuracy seen in shorter carbines such as the M91/38. While still chambered in the traditional 6.5×52mm cartridge and operating via the Mannlicher-style en-bloc clip system, the 91/41 featured simplified wartime machining, sturdier barrel dimensions, and a more straightforward rear sight calibrated for a nominal 300-meter battle zero. These updates provided a more accurate, predictable rifle at a time when Italy faced increasing demands for efficiency and reliability.

Collectors often regard the 91/41 as a transitional model that balances the historical lineage of the original 1891 design with the practical demands of wartime production. Terni-produced examples are especially notable for their typically cleaner machining compared to rifles from later-war arsenals, as well as for arsenal-specific markings that help identify production batches. While the 91/41 did not represent a revolutionary redesign, its improved accuracy and consistent manufacturing standards give it a favorable reputation among shooters interested in Carcano performance. For historians and collectors alike, the 91/41 Fucile stands as one of the more refined WWII-era Carcano rifles—an embodiment of Italy’s efforts to maintain functional quality amid the industrial pressures of the early 1940s, and a significant final chapter in the Carcano family’s long service history.
