Breda M1D 308 sniper

[Ovidio]

It seems that in May 2019, the Italian Army sold about 400 Garand T2 TS. They wentto Austria and then half of them to the US. Some were missing some accessories, some also the optic.
Some have BM59 bolts, like this one (it seems).
Others may very well have been completed by the dealer.
All in all, mostly original.

Outstanding Rifle, Miller Tyme. I was looking at those yesterday at Palmetto as i was putting together my new order and i was drooling at the thought and now I see the box and wish I had saved that money for another investment instead of TACH TOYS.

Thanks for the info Ovidio, from what I had been told by a friend about 8 months ago only about 150 of the ones coming in to the US had scopes.

Hi Ovidio, by any chance, do you have any pictures you could share of Italian snipers using those rifles?
