First off, I can't wait until Gunsnet is back online. This forum format really bites.

I ordered 5 of these last Moday and got them in Friday. I usually do pretty well with the ufixems so wasn't overly worried with what I'd get. At worst case I think you'll almost always get your dollars worth is useable parts.

Here's what I got:

91/24. A 1918 Terni converted to a 91/24 in 1925 (Fare Terni and date in oval). Nice beech stock and complete except for the rear sling swivel. This is the only one I have had a chance to clean up a bit. The bore is very worn, but does have some shine.

91/28. A 1936 FNA RE Brescia. Walnut stock. Looks pretty good except for the peen marks where some bored soldier pounded on the butt with a shell casing. Missing the button on the rear site that you push in to move it. I made one of these parts before. Looks like I'll need to make another.

91/38 Carbine. 1941 Gardone V.T. with a beech wood stock. Looks complete.

91/38 Rifle. 1940 Beretta Gardone with RE and a cross in an oval near the wood line. Missing the handguard band screw only. Another nice beech stock. This one has a rare "cross in oval" accuracy stamp on the barrel.

91/38 Rifle. 1940 Turni RE. Missing the handguard band screw again. This one has about 90% of the bluing.

All came with bolts, 2 tons of grease, cycle well, and everything functions. 5 shooters that will look really good once cleaned up. Well worth $20 each.
