We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Certainly not as many as the other arsenals. Since they were made so early ( before WW1), the majority were worn out in combat, lost or converted to fighting knives.

Torre Annunziata is another hard bayonet to find. The rifles are out there but are getting expensive.

I'd estimate the number of Torino bayonets to be between 150,000 and 200,000. Which isn't a lot given the millions of Carcanos. SW
