Exclusive Classic Firearms 30 Round AR MagazineGET YOURS
Classic battle rifle aesthetics meet modern functionality with the rare BM-59 chambered in 7.62 NATO, a favorite of collectors and gun enthusiasts alike. This Italian-manufactured M1 Garand variant boasts several unique features that set it apart from any other military surplus firearm in today's market.
Despite its appearance, the BM-59 is much more than an M1 Garand copy. These rifles utilize M1 Garand parts mated with a reengineered magazine-fed, full-auto action (semi-auto for the civilian market) and feature integral bipods for increased stability. Certain models even included a side-folding stock and specially designed flash hiders that also allowed the shooter to fire rifle grenades with ease.
Many of these rifles remained in service throughout Italy until they were replaced by the Beretta AR70/90 in the mid-1990s. Ever since, the BM-59 and its variants have become quite the collector's item, prized for the unique combination of WWII-era design philosophy and more contemporary features that firearms enthusiasts appreciate.
Unlike it's predecessor, the BM-59 uses detachable 20-round steel magazines that increase capacity and facilitate smoother, quicker reloads without risk of developing the dreaded "Garand Thumb". The BM-59 is a battle rifle that is equally well-suited for display in your gun room or practical shooting applications like home defense, competition, etc.
Select models ship with pistol grips and folding stocks for added versatility in the field. If you're looking for a unique piece of firearms history with modern features that can shoot modern 7.62 NATO ammunition, consider adding the BM-59 to your arsenal today.
