  3. You messed up the chronology. Italy signed an armistice. After italy signed an armistice, the Germans occupied as much Italian territory as they could, and seized Italian army's equipment. Then, since the Germans had became an occupation army, Italy declared war to Germany. Italian armistice is Sept. 8 1943. Italian war declaration to Germany is Oct. 13 1943. More than a month later.

  5. The Finnish government wanted the 200m fixed sight to be zeroed for 100m instead, so fucking the entire logic of the system (to be able to hit a human-sized target from 0 to 300m aiming at the centre of the torso). Zeroed for 100m the bullet dropepd too much already at 200m, so at normal combat distance.

  6. Any bolt action of that era had a rear sight adjustable up to similar ranges. The M38 was the exception.

  7. A lot had been made in WWI. In WWII we have an Army letter requesting some scoped Carcanos to the Terni Arsenal, and the answer of the Arsenal stating they had 80 samples ready, but it's not known if those rifles had ever been issued. Some experimental sample is still visible at the Arsenal.
