Jack,

You make a fine point on those "Original Verdun Bayonets."

A few years ago I saw a yard sale 6.5mm Italian rifle with the forend cut down to what some called "sporterized" configuration. The bore was a little dark with strong rifling. The seller told me it was an "Alpina Stalking Rifle" highly regarded in Europe. I paid $15.00 for the gun and it shoots surprisingly well. It is now my official rainy day arm here in PA.
