Che thread piacevole. Forza Roma!!!:neener:
Most of the hunters I met in Sicily admitted they didn't have permits for their firearms, always addding "mi raccomando, non dire niente." That seemed to be common practice though...
Carl L.: From B's description, I'm pretty sure its a model 60 (Marlin). I haven't looked at it or shot it (I would hope that I would have made it operational if I had :)).
