You could have an l891 that was cut down to make carbine. The Italians converted a lot of the 1891 and they have a look all of their own.

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

I am trying to find out information about my Carcano but cannot seem to find anything accurate. Out of all of the pictures of carcanos that I've seen, none of them look exactly like my rifle. I believe it may be a mut. If you have any information or advise on where to look, it would be greatly appreciated.
