It's essentially what they envisioned the Garand to be in the 1920s/30s. A mag fed rifle in 276. But, the Army got in the way of those ideas.

As is often the case unfortunately. Thanks for the comments.

I also got a Gen2 James River Armory BM59 receiver just a few weeks ago - service and speed were excellent! They fitted it with barrel and bolt - for a BM59 Ital model (older kit I picked up 8 years ago). The gun went together nicely - some hand fitting to get the parts together and its just a nice smooth shooter. The Gen 2 receiver is indeed nicer finished than my Gen1, but I still love my Gen-1 gun in Para configuration.

Its great to have options for the kits. I wish there were more models available as they really are a lot of fun. Glad to hear you had a similar experience and I hope they continue to run well for you. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comments and th ekind words. I cannot stress how fun it is :-)

That compensator is well needed and looks efficient ! What a great looking gun, and an improvment over the mblock clip.

Its really is a lot of fun! So easy to shoot. Wish I had access to other versions. Hope he will trade me for it someday :-)

Very cool how you cleared that stuck case. I learned something. I love the sound! That thing is a beast!! Good thing you didn’t bring a friend shooting because that chip on the stock probably would’ve caused a resentment.

It sounds great! Great blasting noises. Yea, I have this one friend that always breaks stuff....I would have surely blamed him for it.

I really like it. I have a nice kit and some original Italian ammo. I need to mod the receiver which seems like a pain. Is that a new production barrel or a modified usgi. My kit come with a springfield modified barrel.

Interesting. Both barrels I have are Italian made for the BM59. They are almost new, possibly fit to some rifles but used little if any. Good luck with your receiver.

Beautiful rifle ya made 👍👍..........

@MidwesternFC Yes it is. I'm working on load development now. It runs flawlessly.

Is that Turkish ZSR ammo? If so they have had trouble with brittle brass and over pressure rounds

@MidwesternFC

Its Bosnian ammo. That was the only one I had trouble with but we'll see what happens. Thanks for the heads up on the Turkish ammo.

Do you have a good phto of the BM-59 that you can share as "open source" for a gaming book??
