thanks Mike.
new to this platform, and learning the BM59 family is like trying to drink from a firehose!
but it's fun


so, I don't need to change my monograms yet?

You are welcome !
You can name it what you want,just like a baby . I have a very similar rifle fed with M14 mags. Mine has a slightly longer barrel .
I have not dubbed mine anything other than it looks like a M14 Mag fed BM62.

mmmm, lower band.

Very nice for sure! The '69 did not have a break either,it used the same faux break as the BM62, but some,if not all were cut for the bipod.You can shorten the MB if you like when Greg releases his ported,short BM59 muzzle break .I am going to pick up a few for myself.

I've seen some with and some without. The first BM69 I ever saw for sale on the 'net was a 1-owner with the original box and receipt, it had the 5" tri-comp.

Yes ,you know it has the side swivel !
Eli, I have seen them with the 5" also on GB along with the standard BM59 G/C,I do not feel that they were original in that configuration from Beretta,I have seen several through the years that looked just like a BM62 in every way except for the red rubber buttpad and the bipod cuts on the G/C. Springfield would also cut your 62/69 G/C for the bipod for $72 including a bipod . Reese use to offer a conversion of your 69 or 62 to " Military Form" back in the day for a charge.Trade your BM62 G/C for BM59 with bipod for $110,trade your BM62/69 stock for BM59 stock for $65. Tri comp was straight out purchase for $90. This was circa 1981.
I have the brochure with the dealer price list from SA from 1981 and 1983.
The prices increased alot in the 2 years.

So now I can have my scout rail and eat it too!?!?! Arghhhh!!

Wonder if Shuff would do an op-rod swap...

Is the BM series comp still pretty much the only option?

Trying to figure out the cheaper and/or easier way to get a scout rail on my Mini-G.

Nice gun - I like the evil black look!

The Ultimak rail clamps and the op rod need to be modified to work.
I ordered the rail seperately, and Tim modded the oprod.
IIRC, the Scout clamps are thinner - not sure about clearance.

I did not want to mod the rail, so I went with the BM configuration.
Currently, there is no removal of material, only the straightening of the op rod.

I still have the original (modded) Mini-G op rod, but because I opted not to mod the rail,
I will have to use the stock rear handguard (or grind the rail clamps)

Hope this makes sense


There's some discussion here.


I love this gun - these things are fun :-)
