BM-59 Collectors Package (Italian Garand / M14) Listing ID: 3074849

The BM59 is the final version of the M1 Garand. With US assistance the Italian government began manufacturing the Garand rifle in the late 1950’s. In order to modernize the Garand and transition to the 7.62 NATO caliber Beretta developed a top quality magazine fed rifle based on the Garand which was designated the BM59. This rifle was considered the foreign equivalent of the US M14 and by utilizing many Garand components it was very economical to place into production. The BM59 was the primary issue rifle by the Italian Army into the 1990’s and is still in use by the Italian Navy. This rifle blends the M1 Garand , M14 & BM 59 all in one rifle that is mag fed in .308 caliber.

Basically this the Beretta's variation of an M-14 rifle but it is lighter and faster handling. It also produces less recoil due to the built in suppressor / grenade launcher, and although it carries all of the power and performance of the 7.62 Nato ( .308 Win ) round, it is one of the softest shooting rifles I have ever held.

The rifle will come with the following:
- Rare Mk III Alpini Paratrooper Folding Stock
- Interchangeable Full Length Wood Stock
