Gotta love it. I remember when the Italianicon returned carbines were released lots of folks were talking about what absolute pieces of garbage they were before ever having seen one. Then folks started recieving them and what a revelation. The one I got was, in overall condition, the best combat firearm I ever recieved from the CMPicon, bar none and my experience was not exceptional.

I really doubt very much that the Bavarian Forest Service necessarily took a lot better care of their carbines than the Italian Police. Game Wardens or Carabineri they were still used by the cops. I'd really like to thank Luigi, or whatever his name was for taking such nice care of the carbine I got, 2 FAT stamps and all.
