mcshot Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Greetings and Happy New Year.I have the same rifle and box. I have yet to fire it but look forward to doing so. Have three mags and picked up a fiberglass M-14 stock that I hope fits. This is my favorite rifle and I feel the Italians were way ahead of time with the BM-59 series. BTW, I recall reading that only 35 BM-62 were imported. Now they don't even show up in gun value guides. Glad i found this site.Mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
