Greg, a guy on the Moto Guzzi forum has a WWII Moto Guzzi motorcycle. During the war
this bike had a Breda Mod 30 machine gun mounted thereon. He would like to find one.
Any ideas where he could search?


This one is ornamental

I forgot all about this POS but once I started looking I remembered
this was similar to the Jap type 11 that American Rifleman profiled a
few weeks ago on TV. It feeds from stripper clips and uses oiled
cartridges. (on board cartridge oiler)
That might be great for a range guy under controlled circumstances but
horrible in the field.


de-milled and 2,500.? Wow!
