    So......, you were saying that the Italian M14's were on their way on Nov 17. Any news you can share? It is Jan now, been waiting for a couple of months, and I am dying for information. Did they arrive? Did they pass the torture test? How far behind the standard version will the 18 1/2 version be? Can you get them with synthetic stocks? I dont want to break down and buy a poly or nork then have the Italian ones go available the next day, know what I mean? Starving for Information.

    John isn't going to say s**t until it's pretty much ready to ship to customers. He has said this many times. People couldn't keep from whining when things didn't work out, among other issues...

    If John is getting some of the Beretta modified M-14's they are very nice pices of kit. Beretta made them with folding stocks too, and they were really fine shooters.

    I know may be I am asking too much but John what is the chances for the Italian M14 offer other calibers other than 7.62x51 while in the same case family like the .243 / .260 Rem or even 7mm-08 etc?

    Thanks

    Here is my take on the possible timeline. Tool room models have to be tested in Canada, than corrections made to design if necessary. Production has to start and finally FRT approval on final design, shipping and Custom delays. So leave poor John alone for a minimum of at least six months to a year.

    I remember when Marstar had unissued M1 Garands made by Beretta. I missed out on those (could not get ahead of my bills and debt at the time). So I'm looking very forward to buying a Beretta M14 when they arrive
