Some Carcanos. An interesting choice of collectible and common guns, and many good pieces, it seems, but virtually all guns appear strongly overpriced by 50-100 % (also the Carcanos). My email impression from then so far has been positive.

The Internet's best-known auction site, eBay occasionally had Carcano rifles and/or ammunition listed. They were typically found in the Miscellanous/Firearms (Adult Only) group, a keyword search using Carcano would be more precise. After March 5th 1999, all firearms and ammunition are banned! Other Carcano related items may still be found.

A small, very personal enterprise catering to the discerning collector with special parts needs (serial numbers, WaA marks etc.) If their Carcano parts prices appear somewhat high (as they seemed to me; I mentally compared with the price of the whole rifles), then compare them to Sarco and Gun Parts and you'll see that HistParts are frequently (thought not always) cheaper than either. In addition, they seem the friendliest and nicest of all the providers found so far; Darrin's special service has its deserved price. The rest of their website is also worth a look, especially the German Gewehr 43 database survey - please help him in his research.

Guns and parts. Note that Hunter's Lodge has demonstrated poor service through misleading advertisement and long delivery times (e.g. 3 months). They have been unanimously condemned by a multitude of readers both in rec.guns and in the C-R-FFL and firearms@listserv.uta.edu mailing lists over years, like no second enterprise. Caveat emptor.
Addendum: It appeared that Hunter's Lodge may have finally succumbed to their poor service and closed their doors to the benefit of the gun buying community, but they have resurfaced recently. Whether or not this hiatus has changed their business practices is unknown at this time.

Regularly offer Carcanos, Vetterlis and other Italian militaria. Prices are very high. We were at first very reluctant to include this enterprise, in view of its shady and spurious net.appearance (no accountability, no names, just a non-personal email address). The feedback received so far from other collectors was positive enough to warrant a preliminary inclusion in this list, but we have also received a number of rather negative reports, so be duly warned.
