The Scotti Model X was a rare Italian semi-automatic rifle prototype developed in the 1930s, aiming to replace bolt-action Carcanos. It featured an unusual open-bolt design and utilized some Carcano M91 parts, like the barrel. While innovative, it suffered from extraction issues and a long lock time, requiring lubricated ammunition for reliable function.

This video examines the Scotti Model X, an Italian prototype rifle from the 1930s that underwent troop trials. It functions as an open-bolt, semi-automatic rifle, firing from an open bolt and locking open after each shot. The design features a rotating bolt and a short-stroke gas piston system for operation. The rifle is chambered in 6.5 Carcano and utilizes a six-round Carcano clip that drops from the receiver upon firing the last round.
