It's not Mannlicher-Carcano, it's _____-Carcano.

Incorrect.

It is sometimes refered to as a Parravicino-Carcano, but just plain Carcano is actually correct.

Why is Mannlicher wrong?

Because Mannlicher had nothing to do with it, they are just similar. It'd be like calling an AK-47 a Garand-Kalashnikov.

Well...no...its not like calling a ak-47 a Garand-Kalashnikov because no one has ever used that term...but if you research "mannlicher-carcano" you get a crap load of information on the 6.5x52mmR...and even Parravicino would be concidered wrong by your logic because the official title in Italian is Modello 1891 or even M91.

A better comparison might be calling an SKS a Simonov-Kalashnikov because they look similar, but are actually not related. The Carcano doesn't use a Mannlicher or Mauser bolt, or a Mannlicher magazine, as is sometimes stated. The bolt is original and the magazine is adapted from the German Reichsgewehr 88.

What was the first centerfire cartridge? I want to know, cant find a solid answer anywhere. Im thinking Nyles may have an idea since hes good with older firearms.
