huggytree Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Are there 30 round mags or drums for the Bm59? Been looking and all I see are factory 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wizard Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Short answer is NO! The BM59 is not that popular of a platform for companies to bring out extended or drum magazines for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Savvy shoppers buy M14's, because it's worth the extra to have unlimited spare parts and accessories. I'm sure I could make a BM59 beto-mag for the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) I got a full parts kit minus the barrel from numrich for $250 I believe. All parts were nos except the stock. No parts shortage on the Bm59. I was shocked many parts still in sealed baggies 100% new. I grabbed a nos alpine for $12.5. Vs $16-17 for a Springfield m14. Neither sells all that well for resale. 20 rounds of fun is a bit weak in FA though Performance wise I read the Bm59 is the better gun too. 100 round beta mag would be cool. Melt my gun after a mag dump ? Edited December 8, 2020 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yes, well barrels are actually the most valuable part.Performance wise they are about the same in factory configuration, except there are endless options to change the characteristics of the M14.I would not run 100 rounds through the M14 pictured since it's an original M14, but I have others I might? They have much heavier barrels and are easily replaceable for minimal money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wizard Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 This is not me but I have short my TRW M14A1 in a simular way: Again not me but shows what can be done with a M14 and X Product 50 round drum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Its shocking how fast rifles heat up. I did 3 mags with a couple min rest between on my m16 and melted the paint off my suppressor. Even burned the shooting bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ah, there are tools for that as well. The LMG parts set. I do beto mag dumps with that on occasion and they are set up for that. Your standard A2 upper is really set up for about 60 rds. before you start heating her up and potentially at the beginning of damage. Adding a can probably adds signifcant extra heat.

The Wizard Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Since I showed the full auto capabilities of the M14 I thought I would give time to the BM59. Beside this is the BM59 forum. The BM59 on full auto: And here: How about the Alpine: And in the hands of troops: Edited December 9, 2020 by The Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
