I have a fairly large BM59 package, this is chamber in 7.62MM Nato (.308). It’s marked “LICENCED BY P. BARETTA GARDONE, ITALY”, “SANTE FE M-59 CAL 7.62MM NATO” and “GOLDEN STATE ARMS CORP. PASADENA, CALIF.” on the side of the receiver. The back tank of the receiver has the serial number 811XXX.
Included is the original stock, a rare BM59 side folding para stock, five Beretta 20 round magazines and one 10 round Beretta magazine.
Two of the magazines are marked as shown (the 10 round and one 20 round mag):
The other 4 magazines are marked as shown:
All mags have the chrome followers:
The original stock is in fair shape, the only issue to point out is a splinter taken out of the bottom side of the stock near the butt plate:
Cleaning kit is stored in the butt plate trap door and I believe it’s complete.
Rifle itself is very clean, and has a bayonet lug and a flash suppressor. Much of the releases are marked PB. I am not an expert on these older rifles, I don’t know everything and therefore have been as complete as possible with the information provided. Feel free to ask anything you would like, but again, I am not an expert (I learned what I know from Google). I have many more photos here:

$1,950 shipped for the entire package. Will consider trades or partial trades, but I will be very selective (high end 1911s, tactical bolt guns, POF AR10 or other high end AR10).
