It is marked Armi s marco made in Italy, 54 cal bp. I picked it up at an auction this past Sunday. It was nothing that I was interested in but the bidding was stalled at 330.oo so I thought what the heck and bid 335.oo and ended up with it. It is nothing at all quality wise like the C Sharps rifles that I have. I am thinking if I can get the stuff together I would someday take it to the range. I have the powder, musket caps, and have made many paper cart for pistols. But this is new to me. I have Steve Brooks, Lyman, and RCBS molds for my cart rifles but am wondering on this if I could get by with a lee mold. My pistols, front loaders, and BPCR keep me quite busy but I am wanting to play with this a time or two. Thanks much.
