"Gent.mi Gentlemen as well as Dear Experts
After the wonderful adventure that involved several of you in helping me to give a paternity to my Stutzen (see the posts "Peterlongo" and "Peterlongo II") are here again.
This time I do not ask for help; I would only like to know your opinion on the following: a few years ago I picked up a rifle in 8 x 57 JS Mauser action (K 98) from a private individual but through an Armory. It is a pretty "old-fashioned" rifle; he pulls very badly; It shows off in a rack. Yesterday, rereading the posts mentioned above, I was replaced by the curiosity to investigate also on this rifle, since there is absolutely nothing on the barrel. I went to the armory and asked, in the light of the advice received at the time from you, to remove the barrel: clean! not even the indication of the caliber. A shortly mentioned starlet. There is, it is true, a "number" above the barrel and an "other" on the lever armament but, I wonder, may have been enough to "register" the weapon and put it on the market?
I'm very confused."

because italy is a CIP member state the rifle probably needs a CIP proof to be sold otherwise it not legal to shot it. the gun must have a caliber designation and a serial number before to be proofed.
talk with your local gunmaker!

Poiché l'Italia è uno stato membro del CIP, il fucile probabilmente ha bisogno di una prova CIP per essere venduto altrimenti non è legale spararlo. il fucile deve avere una designazione calibro e un numero di serie prima di essere provato.
