This video provides an in-depth look at the Armaguerra Model 1939, an Italian semi-automatic rifle that never reached mass production. The presenter details its intended role to replace the Carcano bolt-action rifles, its initial adoption of the 7.35mm cartridge, and subsequent redesign for the 6.5x52mm. Key mechanical features, including its short recoil action and pivoting locking block, are highlighted, along with its unique charging system using the sling swivel and its use of Carcano en bloc clips. The video also touches on the logistical and financial reasons that prevented its widespread adoption and mentions related Italian semi-automatic rifle designs.

This video delves into the Scotti Model X, an Italian prototype semi-automatic rifle from the late 1920s/early 1930s. It highlights the rifle's design, including its open-bolt action (uncommon for rifles of the era), its chambering in 6.5mm Carcano, and its use of standard Carcano clips and sights. The description notes that only around 250 were manufactured and none progressed beyond initial field trials, with later small-batch models also failing to gain acceptance. The video promises a look at its shooting, history, and disassembly.

This video provides a detailed look at the Scotti Model X, a semi-automatic rifle tested by the Italian military in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Chambered in 6.5mm Carcano and utilizing standard Carcano clips and sights, its most distinctive feature is its open-bolt action, typically found in machine guns. The description explains how the open-bolt mechanism operates: the bolt stays locked back until the trigger is pulled, then it moves forward to chamber, fire, extract, and eject, before locking open again.
