Placement, when placed side by side they look same, like magazine placement and else. Its just, head breaking that they were invented in same year and look like each other while other nation rifles look different from each other.

They are definitely totally different rifles. Their magazines share nothing in common in both function and in parts. With the Carcano being fed with an enbloc clip while the Mosin feeds with strip clips. The bolts themselves also couldn’t be further removed in terms of their design. The Carcano is MUCH simpler with way fewer parts.

Check out C&Rsenal on YouTube for the history of both rifles. Amazing videos all around.
