Patented Steel Picatinny Rail for Carcano 91 & Mauser K98 Rifles

Mounting modern optics on historic military rifles presents a unique engineering challenge: improving usability without compromising originality. The Contessa patented Picatinny rail solves this problem with a non-invasive, stock-mounted design that respects the mechanical and historical integrity of classic service rifles.

Manufactured from solid steel, this rail is purpose-built for ex-ordnance platforms, offering rigidity, durability, and long-term stability under recoil. The system mounts directly to the rifle stock using two dedicated holding screws, requiring no drilling, milling, or permanent alteration to the original firearm. This makes it suitable for collectors, historical shooters, and practical hunters who want modern capability without irreversible changes.

The rail is available in dedicated configurations for:

• Carcano Model 91 (Code: CAR91)

• Mauser K98 (Code: MSK98)

To accommodate modern optics and ballistic requirements, the system includes interchangeable washers that allow the user to set 0 MOA, 10 MOA, 20 MOA, or 30 MOA of elevation. This provides flexibility for both short-range and extended-distance shooting without altering the rifle or optic.

Critically, the rail is engineered to:

• Preserve the original iron sights

• Facilitate smooth loading

• Avoid interference with cartridge ejection

The result is a mounting solution that integrates cleanly into the rifle’s operation, maintaining reliability while expanding capability.

Supplied complete with mounting screws and wrench, the Contessa steel Picatinny rail represents a rare balance of respect for history and modern mechanical precision.

This is not modernization by force. It is adaptation by restraint.
