 Wustenfuchs is good, but he ain't that good.Actually mate the Johnson M1941/44 was used in an earlier post in this thread, and it took a while for us to work out what it was.  (Tom H named it eventually.)Cheers, Dave

Re: Name That Weapon
This is an 'infamous' rifle, so naming it shouldn't take long at all.
  Can anyone here tell me what its "claim to fame" was?Cheers, Dave

Re: Name That Weapon
Not sure but I think it's the M91/41. the Kennedy assination Carcano was a shorter model.

 Correct on both counts.The JFK rifle was the shorter barrel version of the Caranco M91/41. The thread is yours. (Sorry Urban, but you didn't "Name It" mate.)  Cheers, Dave

Re: Name That Weapon
Well I didn't intend to do that. I'm just an observer who steps in from time to time when I can't hold it back mate.

Re: Name That Weapon
I can still clearly remember seeing the weapon displayed on our black and white TV, the scoped, short barreled Carcano, it looked ugly to begin with but took on a new ugliness after Nov. 22.
