I sort of winged it in my last post. According to this site 100 carbines would be 660 lbs.
Edit: Before I massacre this any more than I have, my re-reading of the Lifschultz evidence shows the Carcanos were shipped ten to a "carton". They probably alternated the rifles in rows so they would interlock. There were ten cartons with ten rifles in each making a total of 100. If there was no outer wooden crating then the cartons would be about 9lbs each which is perfectly reasonable.
This site says the 40 inch Carcano rifle weighs 7.6lbs per, which means 100 rifles alone would be 10 pounds over the weight listed on the invoice:
