One of the civilian Italian youth carbines for non-fascist families. These were mostly used in the colonies. Like for whacking meercats that mom would then fry up for supper. ;)

Since it's for civvies, no bayonet or fascist symbols. Shown below with Carcano cav carbine for size perspective. Oh! Custom 7 line per inch free-hand checkering! 8-)

The stock finish has been removed & I think I'll add some minwax to darken it. The magazine is steel so I'll try cold blue on that. Amazingly, the bore is decent! Firing pin is intact. I should take it out for a few shots, but I've been up since 9. No, the 9 before that.

It's no Socom, but I got it for pocket change. Just the price range I like! :bigrin: :crzy: :rotflma: SW

Some of these 22s sure can look different.
