    Default Picked up a slender Italian last night.



    Has a red dot scope on it, but I'm going to remove it.


    American Flag engraved on receiver. I think this is one of the coolest features.






    Skeletonized stock, non collapsible.

    Nice pick up.
    That stock looks like it would be collapsible..
    I love the engraved American flag also.
    Congrats. Be safe.

    IIRC the Flag being engraved on the side was a mark of a special run. I can't remember the specifics since that was considerably more expensive than my Saiga-12 at the time.

    Nice looking gun though, have always wanted one

    Beautiful, or Bello!

    Just out of curiosity why would you want to remove the dot sight???

    I wouldn't exactly call that a "slender Italian" but then again that one will probably stand up to a little more use and abuse that a slender one would. Nice pick up. Congratulations!

    And do you plan on selling the red dot?
    In order to get intelligent answers you must speak intelligently.

    Only 2,500 made between 1994 and 2004 . . . (get the non collapsible stock now?)


    I have to get a $180 part to make it collapsible.

    Hell, if you have an M4 and convert to that stock, it can cost $800, and you still need the $180 part.


    I'm going to keep the red dot sight, just remove it.


    Oh--and aside from whatever factory testing . . . . never fired.
