Mattyboy82 can you expand upon your theory regarding John Jovino when it comes to this particular firearm.....his name and significance escapes me when it comes to the firearm's world.[/QUOTE]

The John Jovino Gun Shop in no other place than lower Manhattan in New York City was America's oldest gun shop until it closed in 2020 after the COVID 19 Plandemic. They imported all sorts of milsurps from around the world and were famous for supplying New York movie sets with firearms and Police departments.[/QUOTE]


They also did a total factory clearance of Lithgowicon allegedly buying not only all the assembed rifles in stock, but every component and even the benches and stools used in the factory.

They brougt all of the firearms and parts back to the US, and set about assembling the parts into complete rifles (without any quality control) and sold them as new unused Lithgow rifles. There has been a lot of controvosy over the years about these US bitsa-built rifles.

Do a forum search you'll find 100s of posts about them
