BM 59 ?

Nice job. Also the stock with that "camo" effect. Makes it really a beauty!

The Beretta made M1 rifles used the 8 round enbloc clips. ALL BM59 rifles were modified to accept 20 round BM59 magazines....NOT M14 Magazines. There is a huge difference and quality in the magazines.

Am currently having one of these assembled by Tim Shufflin of Shuff's Parkerizing.

You'll have to swing by with it when you're done...

I have been working in Afghanistan for the past 16 months. There is an outside possibility of me returning home for some vacation time this year, but I seriously doubt that I will. Maybe next year? I don;t know. I need my passport renewed, which my employer is working on. We have to pay for our air travel for vacation time....which I am too cheap to pay for because I do not see the value to cost benefit for just three weeks at home. I also hate making the 7500 mile trip back and forth. Not to mention the disruption in pay because we lose the hazard pay when we leave the theatre. When the rifle is completed, it will ship to my 01-FFL dealer in Florida and remain there until whenever it is I do get home. Will try to get my dealer to take some pics of it.

We'll be here when you return. Take care over there.
