    what have i brought???

    i was in the local hunting and fishing store a few months back and spyed this little 22 on the 2nd hand rack i thought that’s a different one i left it there
    i went in a few weeks later and it was still there i had another look and it was cheap enough i just chucked it on tick and droped a few bucks there way each week
    picked it up today and i still have no clue what it is the guys in hunting and fishing couldn't tell me anything about it

    its made in Italy and google had very limited info but found out they came with 4 and 8 round mags which i have one of each

    its a neat little rifle but what is it

    In my best Italiano voice "Itsah littleah 22ah"
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The Daffini Brothers (Fri Daffini) and the company Daffini Libero Arms have been well respected gun makers in Brescia Italy from the end of WWII on.

    There were a group of them who registered with the Brescia proof house just after WWII: Daffini Hannibal,Catherine Daffini , Emiliano Daffini . Joseph Daffini . Daffini Lat. & F . Free Daffini . Peter Daffini

    I note that they used Brothers, (Fri) even tho Catherine is unlikely to be a brother.

    Brescia, Italy is the heart of an area in Northern Italy famous for centuries for gunmaking. It has numerous factories that employ gun craftsmen and schools that teach the various industrial arts involved in gunmaking. There are and have been many small arms makers that make arms not very well known outside of the country of origin. These gunmakers also contract or specialize in making the components of the fireams bought and sold under different brands, providing lockworks, barrels, stocks, etc. Components are proofed by State agencies, and so marked (ex- PSF proof designates smokeless powder proof). Brescia is similar to Liege Belgium in that regard.

    Daffini Brothers is registered at the Brescia proof house, and both makes components and finishes guns assembled from their own and others components.

    Current contact information:

    Daffini Libero Armi
    Vill. Montini Via VIII 2
    Brescia
    25060
