Beretta BM 59 Para 7.62 NATO Rifle

Designed in the late 1950's, the BM 59 Rifle was an obvious development of the M1 Garand. Unlike the Garand it was chambered in 7.62 NATO and included and integral folding bipod, combined flash eliminator/grenade launcher, flip up grenade launch sights, 20 round magazine and a fire selector lever. It was used by the Italian military until the 1990's and often (as the case with this one), used receivers adapted from original M1 Garands (also an Italian military issue weapon). This para example has the side-folding metal stock, is in really excellent order and comes complete with 5 inert 7.62 NATO rounds, an original sling and its original foil packaging. Current deactivation with moving cocking handle (under spring pressure), moving fire selector, moving trigger under spring pressure, working safety, removable magazine, folding/infolding bipod and flip up/down grenade launching sites but without the ability dry fire or fully field strip.
