Developed after World War II, the Beretta BM-59 Rifle was a parallel development to the U.S. M14 rifle; essentially a "next generation" M1 Garand with upgraded features. The Springfield BM-59 uses a combination of new-made commercial parts (most critically, a semi-auto only receiver) and military surplus components, with Beretta "PB" marks in multiple areas. Blade front and peep rear sight, with an integral grenade launcher and bayonet lug, folding bipod and winter trigger, unmarked barrel, and a smooth pistol grip stock with a rubber buttpad. With a storage box, Beretta manual, and oiler.

Excellent, with 98% of the original black finish, showing some minor handling marks overall. The stock is very good, with a few spots in the finish and light pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
