    Would love one. Since these are made with m1 garand receiver am I correct to assume they are not subject to any capacity limits?

    The BM 59 is prohibited by name.

    Along with it's variants.

    Someone would need to submit one for classification. But because they are prohibited by name, I don't think it will fly.

    Limited to 5 rounds. They use detachable 20 and 30 round magazines.

    They would require pinning.

    They would be restricted to 5 rounds. Barrel length would be another consideration

    All the parts required to build a BM59 from an M1 garand are unregulated.
    If I take my Garand and make the same modifications beretta did, do I have a modified Garand or a prohibited BM59?

    The Garand is excluded from capacity restrictions

    I'm pretty sure that it would be a modified Garand. Others with more direct experience can chime in. I know that the CBSA can have different opinions when parts that say BM59 are imported. Sometimes, they are wrong though.
    Silly that it's prohibited by name though. I suspect that would make it impossible to get from JRA. As another person said though, if one was brought in and blessed, that might change things. I won't hold my breath.

    But isn't that just to allow the 8 round En Blocs? Not a 20 or 30 round magazine.
