BM 59...is anybody thinking about ordering one?
i just read an article about them and it turns out that reese owns springfield armory. they are $300.00 higher than the last ones they had for sale.
...
the flash supressor/compensator that the italians designed seems to be quite effective.

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.....

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.
