Can you use a bm59 oprod instead of an garand oprod?

Hey Tim,

Like the title says, can you use a bm59 oprod in a mini -g build or does it have to be an garand oprod??

I can, just have to modify it.

[jtfsemperfi]

Do you also modify the garand one? Is one any better than the other??

I have one of each and feel like I would rather hang on the the garand one for future (plan getting more garands but probably not bm59s)

Thanks for answering!

I prefer to use a standard Garand oprod when doing this for a G build. It is easier. There is some risk of kinking with the 59 rod.
