CARCANO COMPENDIUM

An absolutely unofficial, vaguely peer reviewed ensamble of my notes
and researches on Carcano knowledge, constantly updated.

The Arsenals and Factories section has several exclusive parts, published for the first time.
You won't find that information anywhere else... for now!

Scroll down and enjoy at your own risk!

This website will be always free, but if you want to contribute to
my active research and keep this Website running with new infos,
feel free to donate something on my ko-fi account!
