Genuine Italian military surplus Beretta BM59 ITAL parts kit manufactured in Italy by Beretta. It includes the original 19.3-inch Beretta barrel and a folding bipod, making it a desirable kit for collectors and enthusiasts interested in the BM59 rifle. The listing notes that no furniture (such as the stock or handguards) is included, so those parts would need to be sourced separately if completing a build. The kit is rated good surplus condition, meaning it is expected to show normal cosmetic wear from military service while remaining generally serviceable.
Following World War II, Beretta modernized the Italian-produced M1 Garand into the BM59, a select-fire battle rifle chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. Adopted by the Italian military in 1962, the BM59 was produced in several variants, including the standard Ital, the Alpini for mountain troops, and the Paracadutisti for airborne forces. It also served with several foreign militaries before being replaced by the Beretta AR70/90 around 1990. Today, the BM59 remains a highly collectible rifle, with original parts kits and modern semi-automatic reproductions sought after by enthusiasts.
