The Carcano Brescia refers to a type of rifle produced at the Brescia Arsenal in Italy. The Carcano rifles were a series of bolt-action rifles used by the Italian military from the late 19th century through World War II. The designation “Brescia” indicates the location of the arsenal where these rifles were likely manufactured. Carcano rifles were chambered in various calibers. The specific caliber would depend on the model and the period of manufacture. Carcano rifles typically had a bolt-action mechanism, where the shooter manually operated the bolt to load and eject cartridges. Carcano rifles were the standard-issue rifles for the Italian military during World War I and World War II. They gained global recognition, particularly due to the association with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The Brescia Arsenal, located in the city of Brescia, Italy, was one of the key facilities involved in the production and maintenance of firearms, including Carcano rifles.
