What ever happened to the Italian M14's that were on the way ?

[mikebaker1129]

There was a company that was going to import Italian made M14 type rifles in 22" length and some shorties. They were going to bring them to the US and to Canada. I guess that deal went by the wayside.
Any word on these ?

 

[I <3 M14]

Was put off indefinitely due to labour/economic troubles in Italy

The company went out of business didn't they?

maybe.... Johnone TACTFULLY DISCUSSED IT (sounds better than ripped people's heads off when they wouldn't or couldn't sift through umpteen Marstar pages) and I think the net result was that there were problems with the italian company that was supposed to deliver these.

and heck, why bother when marstar could sell every Norinco they could import anyway.


fortunately, we've got springfield, james river (rockola!), smith, etc, for those who don't want to venture down the norinco path.

Or you can pick up one of the Italian Walnut Norc's that SFRC has in stock again right now. Gorgeous walnut stock on the one I just picked up! These are Italian as you're going to get!

If you ever go down that path, remember to take lot's of thread crumbs with you so you could find your way back home.
