Sorry for the delay in answering a few questions. The collective knowledge on the forum is what makes it truly great. I don't believe anyone could pick a double gun topic and not get helpful info from more than a few people.
Everything written here about the ICD guns of Italian origin "Beschi guns" is true to a degree. These where the parts kits I worked with and my sympathies go out to all the old ICD employees responsible for regulating these Beschi guns. I have encounter no problems with the krupp guns and considering the quality of some of the Beschi parts you have to give a lot of credit to the people that made them work despite the difficulty. That being said there are undoubtedly many beschi guns out there that have given great service and will continue to do so.
Some have asked about the problems I encountered with these guns. Just so everyone is clear there where no major systemic failures. Just basic regulation issues that where sometimes a pain to fix due to the quality of the Italian parts. such as
trigger pull weight
ejector regulation and other ejector issues
hammer sear engagement and the like
All fixable some more easily than others.
I would also like to say that If I found a Beschi gun for the right price I would buy it because whatever the potential problems I believe it could be put right.
