Thought it was about time to re-advertise this as I'm just not using it due to my 'new favourite rifle' the L1A1. So here's a chance for you to get hold of this superb bit of kit at a revised price of £2000.00 o.v.n.o (was £2300.00).
Here's the original advert:
For Sale
Rare if not unique in the UK, BM59 Straight Pull Rifle in 7.62x51. Nearly new with only 100(ish) rounds put through it.
The rifle is a straight pull version of the Semi/Full auto service weapon developed in the 50s and early 60s for the Italian armed forces. It was based on the M1 Garand licence built by Beretta post war and its design and subsequent entry into Military Service preceded the US M14s by two years.
The rifle is complete with integral bi-pod although this is easily removable should you want to. It also comes with two magazines and the correct Garand sling.
pm me for more details/photo's.
Cheers
Paul
