... make sure you visit the Armeria Frinchillucci showroom at Via Barberini 31, the main street between Piazza Barberini and Piazza della Republica.
They have an amazing assortment of firearms on display (and for sale) that is truly breathtaking. One rack was full of Winchester lever and bolt action rifles; the owner is very proud that almost all of them are pre-1973. There are pistols we won't ever see in the US, as well as pistols and revolvers made in the US that we don't see too often even here - like a pristine S&W Model 22 Model of 1917 - with a complete set of moon clips.
A Mark IV Series '70 GCNM was there for the low low price of what worked out to be US$2,500. (I mention this because I own one myself.)
The point is, it's not so much what things cost but the amazing selection on hand. Want an RPK? AR? M1A? etc. etc. - it's all there and you find yourself asking "How did they get THIS?"
So when in Rome, do yourself a favor and drop in for a visit to a truly fine gun shop.
