i asked over at the collectors forum but i guess i could have asked here instead since it is built off a garand receiver. maybe somebody here will have more information. anyway, i cruised by a gunshop yesterday and they have a bm59. it is in great shape. receiver is marked:
PB-BM 59
P.Beretta
Gardone V.T.
Italia
0000186

it is 7.62x51 nato. it has the bipod, grenade launcher, 20 rnd mag. what is an appropriate value on such a rifle. i've never seen one before it is kinda calling to me to buy.

forgot to add that on the left side of the receiver it says springfield armory, Geneseo, IL

they are asking $1900 for the rifle. it is on consignment at a gunshop so i doubt there is much room to bargain with the price
