The Portuguese Carabina de Artilharia 86/91 is a 40.4-inch, 8.8-pound rifle chambered in 8mm Guedes, featuring a 5-round tube magazine. While more manageable than previous Kropatschek models, its turned-down bolt is ergonomically awkward, placing the hand far from the trigger. Recoil is noted as severe, though the semi-pistol grip aids control. The sights are tall and clear but offset, likely due to its design accommodating smokeless ammunition.
