Different Bm59 Bolts

That cross section one looks interesting

 

I picked up a couple of BM59 bolts last year. These bolts are USGI Garand bolts converted by Beretta with relief cuts to allow the bolt to better pass through the feed lips of the BM 59 magazine. They have been lightly engraved on the top so you can see that the mods have been done.

 

These two were once USGI bolts from IHC and SA.

Here you can see some of the modifications made on the right side.

New SA Garand bolt on top. BM 59 bolt on bottom.

From the front you can really see where Beretta took some meat off.

Nice pics JR.

 

Notice the "P" electro penciled on the front of your Springfield Bolt & a similar "P" on the F - PB - B.M. 59 bolt I posted.

 

I just checked & I have a converted Bolt (Springfield -2SA) that has a very faint electro pencil "P" at the front.

 

I've never noticed them or at least paid any attention to them before.

 

Does your IHC Bolt have a "P" also?

 

Some kind of Beretta or Italian Proof Mark?

 

Anybody know how to say "Proof" in Italian - does it start with a "P"?

 

Anyone else have Bolts with similar "P"s?

 

Breda new made BM59 Bolts with a "P" would indicate an Italian requirement vice Beretta shop practice.

 

Cool, More Questions. :rolleyes:

It looks like the F - PB - B.M. 59 bolt you have has two drawn "P".

 

Both of my converted bolts have a "P"drawn in the same spot. This pics is a little better.

 

I just noticed punch marks on these converted bolts, just above the drawing #.

Have my safe queen out as friend wants to trade for Type 1 NM garand and another feels I should look to trade for an M1A super match as magazines plentiful and cheap. Anyway am reading all the BM62 posts and got to this thread. My bolt is stamped: "03-033-3 PB" with the P as reflected above.
