The Durante M1890 (Italian: Fucile a Ripetizione di Fanteria M.1890; “Infantry Repeating-Rifle M1890”) is a bolt-action rifle designed by Durante Masterworks that served as the primary infantry rifle for the Cacertian Imperial Army between 1890 and 1920 and saw extensive action during the Divide War. It was differentiated by other bolt-action rifles of the era by its straight pull bolt and its usage of en-bloc clips. In 1920, it was officially succeeded by the M1920 but still saw service with rear-echelon troops during the Siduri War.
