I have the parts collected for building three (more, just finished the first) Breda Garands. One will have B. sig barrel, the other two will have Criterions. The only parts where I might expect a mark and don't have BMB, BMR or VAR are the front handguard ferrules, which are unmarked.
Did the Breda Front Handguard ferrules have a mark? Anyone know a source for such? I can take shipments either to a US or a Canadian address.

Dunno for sure, but Beretta marked theirs so I'm guessing Breda did too.

My Danish G/50 contract Breda has the front hand guard furrule marked 'BMR'. I have one in my junk box marked 'BMB'.
Would you be interested in selling your bmb handguard ferrule? I'd be interested in buying it.

If that doesn't work out, try Orion7, they used to have a ton of Italian parts.
They say "no international orders or shipments to Canada". I'm ok with the no shipments to Canada, almost all the US folks I've dealt with have been unwilling to do cross border shipment. Quite a few I've talked to have been strictly no international because of the ITAR restrictions. Of course front handguard ferrule are non-ITAR, but lots of vendors can't be bothered to sort it out (for which I don't blame them).
Still, I must say that I've had a lot of help from US Garand people, or I wouldn't be in build mode now. I'm pretty happy with the first build, looking forward to doing the other three.
If Orion7 have bmb/bmr ferrules I'll contact them directly and see, thanks for the lead.
