Its up for sale locally, I am going to look at it tomorrow.
Uses M14 mag's
Owner put on a BM59 muzzle brake.
Owner has had it for some ten years, Bought it from a Gun shop, But didn't specify where.
Cambered in 308 NATO.

I have requested more and better pic's.
Any thoughts on what it is?
What is the going rate for a BM59 or BM69?
Comes with the Burris 3x12 scope mounted.
Thanks

It looks a lot like what was posted recently in the "frankengarand" thread.

It does look similar, It looks like the one I have pictured has a slightly shorter area between the stock and the gas tube.
One other thing, The owner mentioned that the MFG info was removed, But the serial number was still there.

Just got back from looking at the rifle...
Needless to say, I will NOT be buying it.
It was Blued like the other guys posted here, Not to mention the finish was very worn at the muzzle end and it was covered with lint/pet hair.
It did have some Beretta parts, I didn't even take the time to check the barrel.

If you want to see the listing.

He did have 10 mag's to go with it, Burris Fullfield II scope with M14 style upper hand guard mount.
