Very interesting rifle.
My understanding is that the Italians made M1s using Winchester tooling in the 1950s. As well as Berreta, they were made by Breda Meccanica Romana.
Looks in good nick considering where its been. Have you had it apart? Are all the components Italian? Tried it at the range?
Thanks.
All parts were Italian when I took it apart. PB marked for Beretta. I don't think I will be shooting it anytime soon due to the rarity.
