I see three different stock variations in this thread, are all of them original/correct?

Typically 3 stock variations - the shortened Garand, the Alpini folder and the Mk IV Nigerian - you'll also notice the dimples ahead of the receiver in the wood at 4 and 8 oclock for the bipod legs.

And they ain't no bubba rifle!

On a site called www.machinegunboards.com there is an excellent read on the Beretta BM-59's titled "BM-59 reasearch-factory visit" by UK armourer. Check it out. I will post some more pictures when I get the clip, opps I mean magazine in it.

Thanks for the info guys. Bubba was referring to the chopped Garand in gunplumberr's photo.

You know, my Beretta is looking kinda ratty compared to some of the above pictures, maybe I will refinish this rifle? Could a good gunsmith refinish the metal the way it came from the factory, and what kind of a finish would have been applied to it? The wood is easy, I work with wood all the time.

I would like to have that blue inert rocket thats in the one photo, or even make one on a lathe?
