Here in the US you never see a sign that says "English Restaurant".
Welcome.
Anodizing-- I have not seen it chip before, not saying it's impossible. So maybe it is more of a gouge...? It is an excellent, but I mean excellent, finish for aluminum but it is not magic. That case deflector sticking out as it does would tend to be the first thing to get bumped, maybe even at the factory.
I am very interested in knowing about getting a Colt AR15 in Italy. I'm guessing it has to have a .223 and not a 5.56 chamber....? This import restriction is in place in many countries, I mean, according to what I think I know about it. Pistols too: .380, OK. 9X21, OK. 9mm X 19 Parabellum no way! I tip my hat to those of you who can get past all that bureaucratic crap and get the guns. I have friends from many countries that don't have it as good as we have it here in the US. Some have risked jail even in their best effort to comply with the senseless regulations, because the enforcers of those regs have zero understanding of what they mean. The guys who want the guns and ammo have to know the regs to stay out of jail; the enforcers think their job is to misunderstand the regs so they can be a big hero and put someone in prison. Cretinos!
Tell us what you can.
