  1. HI all, I found a source for BM 59 Barrels and they are willing to do a group buy. Interest? Pam Weller <pam@bulaforge.com> Today at 11:35 AM To Michael Spivey Message bodyBarrel pricing: 10 - 165 20 - 165 50 - 155 Thank you, Pam Bula Forge & Machine (216) 252-7600 From: Michael Spivey [mailto:mike.spivey@att.net] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2018 11:18 PM To: Pam Weller Cc: Jeff@buladefense.com Subject: Fw: BM59 Barrels Pam, I am retransmitting this email to you again as you have not yet replied to my previous one sent on Feb 13th 2018. In addition to my desire to purchase a barrel please provide a quote for 10, 20 and 50 barrels for a possible group buy. Regards Michael Spivey
  2. Gentlemen, any progress scanning the Italian BM59 manual?
  3. I was looking forward to it "being well under 200.00". That being said I will be ordering one anyway, beggars can not be choosers, but I will be machining it to the BM59 band configuration
  4. I am working up a drawing to machine the grenade sight boss as a sub part and be able to silver solder it to the gas valve that is currently available.
  5. Do any here have one available or know of a source for a BM59 Gas valve with the Grenade sight attachment boss on it. I machine my own gas valves without the attaching boss and they are also available from Standard Parts LLC so that is not a problem. Here is the difference for those that do not know: With Grenade Sight Boss and the sight attached to the gas valve http://picturearchive.gunauction.com/465197/11720624/bm-59-pic-10.jpg_thumbnail0.jpg And other of the gas valve from the front with out the sight attached. http://pictures.GunAuction.com/465197/11720624/p1020266.jpg_thumbnail0.jpg And one without the grenade sight boss on the gas valve. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/2.jpg
  6. Any availability status or per barrel cost yet? I would like one (maybe two) as well. Ciao Kenshi
  7. I found this photo on gunbroker from an old for sale post. With this and the BM59 Lower Band and clip I have I believe I can backwards engineer the approximate dimensions of the barrel boss. IF there is any on the board that has one of these barrels available and could put dimensions to the lower band barrel boss it would be a great help. I will draw this area in my CAD program and post it here on the board for all. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/8936/vol1no4pix690800367.jpg
  8. I have a BM59 Lower band and the clip. What I am looking for is the machining performed on the stock BM59 Ital barrel to fit the band and clip.
  9. Can any share a photo or photos of the lower band attachment area on a stock BM59 Barrel where the clip retainer is used?
  10. Does anyone have a sketch or drawing of the stock BM59 lower band boss and clip attachment configuration on the barrel that they would be willing to share?
  11. Hi all, Some time has passed and I am happy to say that I have almost completed a drawing package of the Mod and parts necessary to turn a M1919A4 into a Navy Mk21 Mod0 gun alowing it to feed using the M13 links used in the M60 and M240 GPMGs. I am lacking a couple of parts drawings in that package, the Mk21 Flash Hider, the rear belt pawl and the MK21 top cover belt feed pawl. Those parts are still being searched for. Here a two photos of a cut receiver section on a Mk21, one can see the link support on the right side, and the belt pawls and the round stop. http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/7567/copyofmgmk215.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7451/mgmk211.jpg Using an Izzy 7.62NATO Top Cover and Feed Pawl, and the wider Izzy LH Belt Pawl AND the MK21 parts necessary to support the M13 links the gun feeds great.
  12. Does anyone have a sketch or drawing of the stock BM59 lower band boss and clip attachment configuration on the barrel that they would be willing to share?
  13. Thanks Dan, You have answered one of the issues that no one had an answer for. That issue is how the side plate was identified!!
  14. Here are three pics from the web that show a Mk21 Mod0. Look closely at the belted ammo and you can see the M13 links with the brass peeking through the open portion of the link facing up. The muzzle break was also singular to this Mark. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7131/mk21mod0r44.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7457/mk21mod0.jpg http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1594/mk21mod0r45.jpg
