Another huge thanks to Ian from ‪@ForgottenWeapons‬ for letting us use his clip as well.

From the years of 1929 to 1931, the former Canadian department store giant, Eaton's offered a very odd rifle in their catalogue. It was a sporterized version of the M1891 Italian Carcano service rifle. Barreled in the Greek army's 6.5 X 54 mm round and with a double trigger set added, this is an odd rifle for a lot of reasons. Join me as we go down the rabbit hole.
