    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    For around that amount of money I would rather have a POFicon 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.
