Knew it was somthing like that but I was to lazy to dig out my books on Browning weapons or look it up on the web (im sure the info is out there).  Honestly Italia may give browning some business (the tater digger is just to awsome for someone not to use it)

Oh I agree on that part, but Browning was a tinkerer he legitimatly loved playing aorund with firearms.  I can easily see him still developing the 1911 and the 45 acp in our alternative timeline.  Perhaps not for the US but he was already playing with slide semi autos in 1898 (first production version was in 1900 if I remember right in 38 cal)

Yeah, the Colt M1900 was first built in .38 ACP (NOT the same thing as .380 ACP, originally more like .38 Super without the semi-rim).  There's also the 9.65/9.8mm ACP cartridge, which is an actual .38, instead of the .355 bore of the ".38" cartridges.

Feel free, the M1895 Colt-Browning's definitely available, and could be modified to use 6.5mm Carcano without a problem.

As it turns out, this is apparently quite historical: apparently the Italian navy used M1895s on their torpedo boats.  :)

Knew that, im just planing a more "extensive" use (like its likley to be the "light" MG for my entire army as well)

Forgot to reply but the scenario presented is completely fine with me.
