Mannlicher-Carcano?

[Mitch Todd]

In the recently posted Nova program, Luke Haag pronounced it CAR-cun-no which I believe is correct. I've been pronouncing it wrong all these years too. I also learned that I have been misspelling the last name of Luke and Mike Haag for as long as I have written about them. I have spelled it Haas because that was a surname I was more familiar with.

I've heard a couple of native Italian speakers pronounce the name, and they always said it with the stress on the first syllable, "CAR-can-o."
