SELECT FIRE RIFLE. Cal. 7.62 NATO. S# X000197. Bbl. 19". Heavily resembling a crossover between the M-1 Garand & the M-14, the Italian BM59 is a creature all to itself. Bridging the gap between the 2 systems we have the receiver style of the M-1 Garand with detachable mag. capabilities of the M-14 in the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Housed in a hardwood stock w/ matching bbl. shroud & pistol grip. It has an interesting muzzle brake, sometimes referred to as a Tri-comp, doubling as a grenade launcher, also including a folding grenade sight system. A folding bipod providing over 11" of clearance, folds tightly under the forearm of the stock when not employed. The front sight is a protected blade style w/ a rear peep sight that is micro adj. for both windage & elevation. The receiver is designed to be top loaded utilizing stripper clips even though it utilizes a detachable 20 rd. proprietary box mag. The fire control selector is located on the front left side of the receiver w/ designations A-S for automatic & semi-automatic. Left rear portion of the receiver marked "SPRINGFIELD ARMORY’. Extreme rear of the receiver on top marked "P. BERETTA - 7.62MM BM59 – GARDONE VT – ITALIA – X000197". Right side charging handle. Folding Winter trigger. Safety is located internally at the front of the trigger guard. Left side folding carry handle at center point of balance, between sights. Shoulder stock utilizes a rubber buttpad. Sling swivels front & rear. CONDITION: exposed metal surfaces still enjoy complete coverage of original matte finish. Typical thinning on high spots & on areas of mechanical interaction. Wood stock has some impressions primarily on left side of shoulder stock, typically earned by vertical rack storage. All sights move freely & bipod properly intersects w/ designated positions on stock. Bore is bright w/ well pronounced rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT MG REQUIRING BATF TRANSFER BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. FULLY TRANSFERABLE. (03-1744/JZ).
