YES !
I have pictures of my Chinese POLYTECH in one .
SA inc use to sell these and Reese surplus did also,they were BM59 rear halves mated to a M14 wood front end.
They are available,but they sell for $500 and up for just the stock.
Email me if you want to see some pictures of mine.

I've seen ONE of the stocks you mention up here in canada. Was an interesting mod/bedding job to mate it to a norinco, but a slick unit once finished.
VERY hard to find piece of kit that's 4sure

Mine uses M14 wood ,not the BM59 wood. I am sure that was a major bedding job if the Original BM59 wood was used.

Noting that the BM59 is a modified garand receiver which is longer than the M14 receiver...

Nice to know it seems it can be done. Now all I need is to happen upon an old Camorra or Mafia weapons cache on my next trip to Southern Italy, try not to stuff more than 3-4 Beretta m-12's down my trousers while stripping the BM of it's stock, then nonchalantly walk down to my hotel room to sip a nice glass of Limoncello. Yeah...that's the plan.

Sincerely,

thanks for your input guys.

All you really want from the BM59 stock is everything rear of the wood.
You will be miles ahead to mod your wood stock to bolt on to the BM59 rear.
This is what Reese and SA inc. did.

As mentioned. it would require major bedding,and still look like crapto mate the BM59 stock to the M14.
I had a spare piece of M14 wood allready to mate to the BM59 folder,but I sold it to Standard partsllc,maybee he is using it as a prototype to bring some to market ?
