Desirable and Rare Serial Number 277 Beretta BM69 Semi-Automatic Rifle

This is a semi-automatic version of the BM69 developed by the Italians after World War II. The BM59 rifles were very similar to the Springfield M-14 rifle with the BM69 similar to the M1A. Only about 1,500 were imported into the United States. There is a flash suppressor/grenade launcher, a flip up grenade sight, a folding bipod and the standard M1 Garand sights. Mounted on a smooth walnut stock with a rubber recoil pad. Magazine is absent.

ConditionNear excellent, 95% plus of the original parkerized finish remains with some scattered minor dings, scratches and rub marks along with some cycling wear. The stripper clip guide is cracked on the left-hand side. The stock is very fine with scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
