Are the Italians still using the BM59?

BM59 have been retired from service at the end of the 90's
around '97-'99..

That is one beautiful rifle. We gotta see some targets as soon as possible. Wow!

After a little practice I can keep a twenty rounder in a 2 foot dia. circle at about twenty yards, Wayne M. We were using a newspaper opened up stapled to a skid and all twenty were within the paper. Brass is a little harder to find than where the bullets hit.

Most of our shooting was done at aggresive terrorist milk cartons filled with water, none survived. They tried a frontal attack several times but a couple of short bursts forced them to the rear to regroup.

That is one fine rifle. I've always been interested in the BM-59.

I hope someone was able to get Federal's share of the loot secured away for future needs. Just in case...

Reading this thread is a reminder of what a unique man he was. Great sense of humor and a belief that anything was possible. Truly a part of him lives on.
