Italian Bm59 Tech Manual

[TopN]

This is my first post. I joined the board yesterday, but I've been lerking around for a while.

 

Is there a Italian Manual that lists Parts and NSN's with pictures/drawings of those parts? Something like a U.S. 23 or 34 TM?

 

I have some BM59 parts packages that I'm not sure of just what kind part they contain. The packages have NSN & descriptions (the descriptions are in Italian & at the end of the label & are almost always unreadable). :banghead:

 

Some examples:

5340.15.050.5297 ANELLO ?ITE ???

1005.15.050.5393 PISTONE P????? [maybe for the bipod?]

5340.15.050.?333 MOLLA ????? ??DO RAFFICA [a little spring]

 

As a side note, unmodified Garand Parts that are used in BM59's are marked on these packages as for BM59's. These are easy, as I can look the NSN's in a U.S. Garand TM.

 

Some examples:

1005-00-600-8879 PERCUSSORE [it's a firing pin]

1005-00-600-8618 PIOLO E MOLLA EST??? [it's a extractor plunger]

The bottom of these packages are marked "Fucile s.a. Tipo 2 e Fal/BM/59"

 

I'm in contact with some guys in Italy that get me parts from time to time, but I don't know kind of manual to ask for (what it's called or looks like) - they don't speak much English and I don't go much beyond "Ciao" in Italian.

 

If anyone has such a manual could you post a picture of the manual & possibly a picture of NSN/Description list.

 

I've attached a few pictures of parts packages. (hope it works)

 

Ciao a presto

Those are a nice find. Will any of those items be for sale anytime soon?

 

What you seek might be hard to find. I hope the Italians can help.
