Anybody know just how many of these receivers were made, since they all seem to have 4 digit serial numbers ?

Approx 10,000 of both Breda and Beretta for the Danish military contract rifles. Some of the Bredas run into the low 5 digit range, but I've never seen a Beretta over 9999. Someone out there might just have one though.
Thanks Squinty.
I'll get on it at the range today with techno-whiz buddy Gootch.
Although I'm hearing he may have drowned he's I-phone in toilet last nite ....
Ya. Confirmed. Gootch's I-phone sank. Before the flush lever was activated. Flags at half-mast.
Will be a while before pics.
Op-rod Parkerizing
Parked one of my op-rods today. Skinny long things are hard to fit into a pot so I built this.
3' of 3" abs glued to a toilet flange. Left the knockout in place and I can screw it to the floor to stop it from falling over. 1 gallon of parkerizing solution almost fills the tube and covers the rod with lots extra. I heated the mix in a large pot to 200 F. While the soup was heating up I preheated the oprod at 170 F. When the solution was hot it was poured into the tube and the now warmed op-rod inserted into the mix. (mechanics wire wedged into tube to remove when done) After 10 minutes it was finished cooking and I removed the rod, soaked it with some Castrol and then gun grease.
Looks as good as new and everything measures to specs!

Yes sir that's the one
How were they to deal with? Reasonable shipping?
Yup, got to do the international order thing though. Always better to order a number of items together, lots of accessories to pick from. Very prompt service as well.

That's looking like my best bet. I looked at sarco but someone bought up the last ones before I placed my order!
Thanks! It fits perfect on the action, and I mean perfect. There is a tiny gap at the lower band because the one I got has a tiny bend. It will be fixed or replaced. Very nice wood for the money.
