TopN Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have seen Folding Stocks marked of the as BM59 Pc and others as BM59 TA. Plus some with no markings that I have assumed ( :nutkick: ) to be late replacment wood like Andy use to sell. What is the difference between the between Pc & TA wood? Is there any difference in the wood? I'm assuming (again :nutkick: ) that it is the wood and not the metal & plastic parts that are different. If the Stocks are the same - wouldn't the Italians have marked them BM59 TA-Pc like they did with Winter Trigger, and the Trigger & Sear assy? It would have simplified their supply system. I know from looking at pictures that the Pc barrel has a different profile, maybe the Pc stock is inletted for that - I'm guessing here. Anybody have both a TA & a Pc marked stock in their collection? I only have a TA. Thoughts on this? TopN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRJ Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 TopN - Thanks for the photo. I hadn't seen a "Pc" marked folder before. Anybody got one of each type for comparison? There is a similar situation with the "TA-Pc" marked trigger and sear assemblies. They appear to be identical to unmarked trigger and sear assemblies. Does anyone know the reason for these markings or lack of them? MRJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless you put them side by side, you can't tell. I've attached 2 pictures - The 1st pic has 3 Trigger & Sears which are from L to R, BM59 Standard with auto sear, 2nd (middle) is a BM59 TA-Pc with auto sear, and 3rd is a Garand with semiauto sear (same trigger as 1st but different sear) Notice that TA-Pc trigger is about 1/8" longer. I've been told that angle of the curve is also slightly different. The 2nd Pic is a Trigger Group with a TA-Pc Trigger & Sear. You can see bottom portion of the TA-Pc marking on the trigger while it's in the Trigger Group Do you know what kind of Trigger & Sear is in your BM59/62/69?

TopN Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 About the Triggers and Sears, if your Sear is different than the pictures - the upright portion is inbetween in height & thinner front to back, it's probably an M14 Trigger & Sear. Here is a picture of the 2 winter triggers. I have stacked them on top of each other to show the different shapes. The area between the lines indicate where the backs of the triggers are even.
