Yes,we can but they have to be on the national catalogue of the firearms and the BM 59 is not there,the 62,civilian version,is possible ma awfully expensive,at
least for me about 5-6 thousands euros...
Glad to be useful,Bryan,I'm learning a lot on this site,many thanks. Regards Gigi |

Recently I was thinking about buying a BM-59 at an auction this past fall so I did some research on the rifle. I found a site that told all about them and I
will post a link to it tomorrow. Basically there are several different types......
You have the modified Garands that we lent out after WWII and Berretta modified them for the Italian Army.... You have the purpose built rifles made at Berretta in various configurations for the Italian Army..... You have the modified Garands that Berretta modified for people here in the states..... You have the modified Garands that were converted by the place in Cal. And you have the NEW receiver BM-59's, identified by a serial number with a bunch of 000 in front of the number and a trademark, that were made by Springfield using Beretta parts that were purchased after Beretta had give up on commercial sales of these modified rifles. The rifle I was looking at was in mint condition with serial number 0001818, made here in the states by Springfield and had a trademark to the right of Springfield. It sold for around $875.00 and had two original mags. Smokepole50 |

I saw this rifle at the funshow today.
It's a nice one... Life is the crummiest book I ever read, there isn't a hook; Just a lot of cheap shots, pictures to shock, and characters an amateur would never dream up... |

I have a BM-62 that is still unfired - I have resisted temptation for 20 years or so. I have a letter from Beretta stating that only 2,000 were imported into
the US, so prices will only go up on these fine rifles. The workmanship is superb - both wood and metal.

SARCO has kits to build your own BM59, everything except you have to supply your own Garand receiver, and modify it according to their blueprints. Here's
a copy of their ad from the SGN I got in the mail yesterday:
