bayos are considered to be arms and must be registered

Oh dear...

Yes, sad but true.
I think this happens only in Italy as it is with swords and any other "tool" like this which has a double hedge.
Every bayo must come with a document stating the previous ownership, without this it will be considered to be illegal here.
That's why I can't buy them in USA without asking first a special authorization to Police departmente with long burocracy.

Here some more photos.

The military pouch brings the date of Sep. 1958
I bought it when I was 13 years old in 1974 in a small used items market in Milan where also military staff were sold.

Also here is a very good link on the Model 1907 sling and better settings/ adjustment for ease of use.... Welcome to Turner Sling | turnersling.com
This will show the proper sling setting example on the rifle M1 GArand.

That's a particularly good example, for those of us that don't do THAT much target with the M1 it illustrates how to fully employ the 1907 sling.

Thanks for the link ... interesting. Still have a lot to learn and study about US rifles.

BTW, if you like M14 rifle too, this is my last US rifle I set up

WOW, I don't know what else to say about those pics, I think WOW just about does it. "Nice rifle set up." Now I really miss my M1A, I had three complete stock sets for it, but never had one of those stocks.

Thanks HILLBILLY-06
It was really hard for me to get that Sage EBR stock for my M1A 'cause of the severe ITAR restrictions.
I think we have very few of them all over Italy.
A frind of mine who went to Las Vegas and saw the Shot Show could carry it to Italy.
Same problems with the LaRue Tactical LT-608 scope mount.
