if you own one of these and they pass the assault weapons ban, can you keep it?

For around that amount of money I would rather have a POF 308 piston rifle. I think I'll buy a few more Garands for that price. I could build most of a good LRB rifle for that much. I think SA is making the receivers for those which mean they are probably cast receivers and not original forged Beretta receivers. If they were made from original Beretta receivers I would consider one.
Besides, the mags are too hard to find for the BM59.
A BM may be an acquired taste, but it is oh so smooth.....:D

I cant get my Cartoon button to work :banghead::rofl: I think I would buy an IHC and an H&R Garand with the money and let the kids play with the .308.
I would be careful with Springfield Armory. They stole parts of my rifle when I sent it to them to be refinished. Type 1 gas lock, and gas cylinder. They changed them for a Korean knock off cylinder and a poppet valve.
They also changed my Op Rod but at least it was just the revision that changed.
I contacted them to and they said that couldn’t happen. Well it did and they never corrected it. They are thieves plain and simple.
