Does ayone have info on the Beretta M1 Garand in 7.62 Nato.
I'm looking into an unfired M1 Beretta manufactured in Italy in the early 1960's. Supposedly there were only 200 of these rifles manufactured.
A few tings don't sit right with me though:
1. the barrel has no markings whatsoever
2. above the serial number it says 'BERETTA', 'NATO 7,62' and 'ITALY'Now, the M1's I've seen that were manufactured in Italy and sent to Denmark had Beretta Romi and Italia not Italy on the left side of the receiver.
3. the stock has the cartouche 'MT' on butt stock which stands for modified terni. If this is an unfired rifle should the stock not have a serial number?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
