Look who's back.

Looks like Beretta found a way around the import and export restrictions that caused them to can the RX-4.

I will reveal you a little secret...
...in Italy, the Beretta Rx-4 "Storm" is, has always been and will always be inscribed to the "National Firearms Catalogue" as the BENELLI MR-1. This, because the Italian gun law imposes firearms to be named and marked after their real makers; and the Rx-4 has always been made by BENELLI, not by Beretta directly. This is one of the main problems that prevented the Rx4-Storm from being distributed in Italy: Beretta wanted to mark it with their own name and the "Rx-4 Storm" modelname, but that would have been against the law.
Have a look at the pages of the Italian "National Firearms Catalogue" dedicated to the several Benelli Mr1 (a.k.a. Beretta Rx4 "Storm"), hosted on the Italian National Police website: 1, 2, 3, 4. What remains to see is, if they have in fact been able to solve the technical problems that plagued the Rx4, mostly due to the A.R.G.O. system being unfit for the use with such a low-impulse cartridge as the .223-Remington/5'56x45mm-NATO.

Yeah, probably. Still I don't understand why there's not a proper PICTURE, instead of a drawing. The process of inscription of a firearm in the "National Catalogue" implies that a final prototype is submitted. But I guess that's because it's BERETTA, after all...
