If a person was interested in another carbine (Not me) this would be a good place to look. The Italians seemed to take care of the weapons we gave them, the storage containers look very clean and organized. The Ethiopian guns were filthy, shot to pieces and poorly stored. The carbine world is down to stems and seeds as they say. So this may be the last chance to get one. Larry is a good honest businessman, this should go well if the government keeps their big nose out of it. Today's carbine buyer just wants a nice gun, the bias against anything that isn't a flip sight and type 1 band died a long time ago. And as noted the import stamp isn't a deal killer anymore.
