Vetterli-Vitali, Italian military. You got the Vitali part right , but it ain't eye-tal-yan. It started out as a single shot rifle then it had the Vitali magazine conversion done. Mike

Dutch Model 1871-88 Beaumont-Vitali Infantry Rifle. That is her , chambered for the 11x52R or 43 Dutch or 43 Beaumont or whatever else they decided to call it. Seems the same cartridge has several names. Anybody got any ammo or brass laying around ? Mike

Did you get some 11.3x50 ammo, cardboard en bloc clips, and attached tampon strings to remove them with?
