Once again Bizio...nice rifle. Very nice.

I don't know whether to buy it or not.
It's not on sale in Milan but very far from here, so I should get my decision just looking at pictures only.
It's a very hard decision to take.

Nice scale model of HE-177 with HS 293 guided bombs.

Don't know if the gun dealer is selling that.

it looks to be complete and seems correct , its been rebuilt, but dont think stock is changed as the original stock should be dated 1903 for that serial number range [ 398566-460407 ] there were 61,841 made in that year , the second last year of production , the finish is far from perfect but looks original , as long as its not too expensive i would go for it

Thank you for your impressions.
The rifle is good but the price asked by the dealer is too expensive.
