who here has one what is your opinion would you buy it again if you had to do it over?
any particular cons , the select fire specific parts seem to be hard to find but are they available at all? how does the conversion work? you can find animations of an m16 and open bolts are easy to understand does any one have a pic of how it works do the fa parts ware? or maybe snap a pic of theres with out the stock on. i like to understand technically how it works before i would buy. my inner engineer wont let me buy with out knowing. the other parts are easy enough since they mostly interchange with the m1 especially the ware parts bolts firing pins ejector extractor ext.... |

I believe the 59s are built on the M1 Garand receiver design –– both the M14 and 59 were, and the Beretta version is even closer to the Garand than the M14 is. So google the Garand and mentally add a detachable mag.
The 59's have a much, much better compensator than the 14's do. The Berettas also are very well built. The downsides are that the mags are expensive, and some parts can be difficult to find. I find the M14 to be no fun in full-auto; the comp makes the 59 slightly better, but IMHO full-auto .308s are best as beltfeds. A 20-roud mag goes way too fast, and a shoulder-fired .308 gets ya sore real fast. I always advise that when it comes to MGs, buy your dream gun ... but unless you've been dreaming of owning one for years, you prolly will find that other designs are way more flexible and useful. Your Mileage May Vary.
