If your going to shoot Norma, there are things that you might want to know. Norma projectiles for the 6.5 Carcano are .264 in diameter. Most rifles and carbines are .268 in diameter. Norma is a little loose down the bore so your rifle will not shoot as accurately as you might have hoped. SAVE THE BRASS. Thankfully, there are some manufacturers now producing ammo that is the proper diameter. Graff and hornady are a couple of the companies that sell it. I learned this the hard way a couple of years ago when I bought a like new mod 41(essentially a 91 with updated sights) and a box of norma. It didn"t shoot extremely bad but the group size was about 4" at 50yds. A friend told me about the diameters and slugged the bore for me and he was right. He loaded my brass with .268 diameter bullets which shrunk the group down to 2" at 100yds. I was impressed.
I hope this helps.
Norma may have changed recently so I suggest that you measure the diameter of your projectiles.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
