Husky 272 top end surprise

[dougand3]

I bought a generic Chinese 272 top end a year ago and put on the shelf. Open today and see this. What factory would this be?

China.

Maybe "Italy" is a city over in China...

Tecomec makes aftermarket cylinders.

Tecomec moved production from Italy a while back. Maybe some of the tooling and molds went over to the Chi-Coms?

The mark is Tecomec. Cast in China plated in Italy. No longer in the p&c business.

Least ways that seems to be the wisdom of the web.

I just got a kit for my 2065 to play with. Cleans up into a real nice jug... I did use an F Cast caber but the ring it came with looked decent.

What I've heard is that tecomec was having cylinders cast in china and then finishing/plating in italy.
I don't think tecomec is making them anymore and china is just continuing on doing what they do.
I've seen china gilardoni labeled knockoffs too...

Thanks, guys. tt = Tecomec is good data. I was gonna say it was a tilardoni...almost as good as....
