    We’ve been free to travel inside Italyicon since yesterday.
    Strange feeling indeed...
    Saturday I’ll go pick up my new Bernardelli and, if I can get there, also the Colt.
    Traffic has increased to normal levels.
    People behave almost normally, still keeping distance as required, many still using face covers, but all in all here, where we had it “light” compared to Lombardy, life is starting again. I see it in our only bar. We started again with that wonderful rite of going to mass and, after that, to the bar with our priest following asap. I missed that more than everything else.
    I got two nice orders in the last two days, both from Germanyicon.
    I have lots of machines to deliver or to make factory acceptance tests with, but still little intereuropean mobility...
    My FATs are mostly via Skype.
    I can’t get people to even thinking of coming here, although we have had zero new infections in the last few days, and just a handful in two weeks.
    Today a shooting pal of mine went to the local arms shop to see his new Remington 700 VSF... a mouthful. They’ll install the optic, then we’ll go shooting together next week. The owner of the shop gave him a small package for me. A present.
    He came by a couple hours ago and gave it to me: RCBS neck sizing dies for .303 Britishicon. The only calibre (with the 6.5 Carcano) that I still load with the Lee loader or little manual systems. He really surprised me and made me happy.
    I’ll go buy a truckload of ammo and powder in the coming days.
