Bm59 MAGAZINE hunt

[can14]

You need to have a BM59 bolt because they are different from m1 garand, cut to feed from a mag
Then there are all the other parts and machining issues on a m1 garand receiver

The clone I made up using a Garand receiver, I ended up using M14 mags - no bolt mods required.

Correct me if im wrong, but to build a Bm59 out of an m1 receiver requires a lot of modification+machining . Isnt modifying a receiver like illegal or something? Or does that only apply if it is converted into something prohibited?

You are wrong. There are no laws regarding the modification of firearms, except for altering/removing serial numbers and creating restricted or prohibited firearms. In this case, the only way to create a prohibited would be to cut the barrel short, or make it fully automatic.

What machinest can do these modifications?

Pretty sure any competent machinist could do them. Just have to find one willing to.

Steady hand and a Dremel

Pics? I’d love to build a detach mag garand.

I will have to look into my records to see where I bought my 59 mags.
I should pick up an M1 receiver to build a 59 by stripping my 59.

I have the 5/10 round one's from one
I could build two based on the m1 concept that used to be built in America and by Beretta
8 rounds is better than 5

This, I stumbled on some BM59 op rods and gas blocks on the EE earlier this year. I would love to make an M1/BM59 hybrid. Only have one M1 Garand though and the prices these days make building one not likely.

 

[albayo]

The BM 59 is built on an M1 Garand receiver I believe?
I am going to build a BM 59 clone by stripping my 59 and using the parts for one.

the world is full of people eager to tell others what they should and should not do, what they can and can not do....... even if they are wrong and know nothing about what they commented on.
I think social media calls these people Karens.

Amen, people really need to be re-educated , to mind their “ bees-wax” it’s too bad “ parrots “ are not “ pinked”
