    I'll pass . I had one of the old ones yrs ago . It worked OK . But $600 + for a 22 just because it has a barrel shroud & a drum mag ? To each his own I guess .
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    ABALAS; "My bet is it is a jamomatic."

    Thank you for your expert evaluation. I assume that you handled one, did extensive testing of the model before you reached this conclusion ??

    We did before ordering them

    Looks cool. I'm not much of a 22 guy tho, I've got one, and that is enough. If you could find a few M14's to sell on the other hand..... Since you've got product coming from italy anyway, lol. OK, I'll shut up and wait.
    There is life after online gaming, there is just less.......XD!!!

    Agree, I was very surprised to see such a high price tag. Maybe its made from a special Italian steel.

    You know, I checked out your claim and you're absolutely right. The spelling of Pietta & Franchi is eerily disimilar....

    Colin stated that it was a well-made "italian" gun, imparting the impression that if it was italian, it couldn't and/or shouldn't be a dud. I was simply making a point that "italian" doesn't automatically equate quality. And I dare you to tell me that Franchi's are reputed for being of poor quality.

    I'm not looking to piss on anyone's parade. Who am I to decide if a firearm is or isn't worthy of a certain amount of cash? I was just stating my own opinion on the matter. If the policy on doing so on this site has changed, kindly disregard my previous statement(s)

    Yes gentlemen, labour and material costs in the EU (Italy) are MUCH higher than is most Asian nations, simple fact of life....

    That said you cannot compare the fit and finish of most European firearms with those made in Asia....

    Once a few of you have your PPS-50 in hand you will see what I mean.... Then of course when our Italian M14s are available you can compare them with other makers....

    All this fine fit and finish comes at a cost....
