BM-59's by the hundreds!

Guys,

I just got to know that the Italian Ministry of Defense has now decided to allow the sale of BM-59's and Tipo (Type) 1 & 2 M1 Garand rifles to the general public (if licenced).

 

The BM-59's have the full auto trip and selector removed and the pivot ground off to allow the sale.

 

Have a look at the hundreds ready to be sold at a dealer in Italy I know...

 

There are US Springfield & Winchester M1's converted to BM-59's as well as Beretta M1's converted and new build Beretta BM-59's!

 

If only ;-)

 

ciao

 

Vic

The whooshing noise you hear is Mike Baker booking a ticket to Italy and a container home.

 

Seriously though, Tipo's 1 & 2 should be importable over here in the US. I'd rather have those than those Korean M1's.

Tony Giacobbe " The Garand Guy" may know. He sells BM59 E models.

I don't know if he does the receiver mods though.

 

Schuffs did one for me.

SIDE BAR....

 

I'm not sure how I feel about mag fed Garands flooding the market. I liked that it was a commitment to get or build one.

According to their add, New Production barrels cut with the simplified front band that pins on.

 

Sound like the Standard Parts barrels. It does look like they have original Type I & II (E Model) barrels for $135.

 

Doesn't appear to me that they are going to have the 19.5" original barrels.

Tony does not do his mods. The person who does the mods for Tony actually approached me as well, to both sell me the receiver and do the mods. This only matters to a very few people though.

 

What I wanted to say is that many of us got these kits, not just the big players. I even got the kits :) You can also find them at Standard Parts and The Stock Emporium.
