Attention New Members and those new registering! 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.

Yep it's on the new carbine. Fellows were moaning about them & I thought it was neat! Problem is the one I picked had a partially stamped cartouche :-?

Saw one with a "FAT 72" cartouche. Do you know the history of carbine service with the Italians?

I don't know any history on them but maybe SW or Airdale know! I now know I will have to get one of these days when I can afford it so I can place it in the Italian collection.
