Mg62

[Rush2112]

Utilizing the Mini-G's frame, I asked the Wizard if he could do some Weird Science and incorporate BM62 parts from StandardParts.
+ BM62 gas cylinder
+ BM62 5" muzzle break

I have affectionately dubbed her nomenclature: MG62 (62, Mini-G)

With limited range time, was able to shoot about 50ish rounds on various outings -
20 in this stock. Still trying to tweak the Schuster, but getting about 2MOA w/ factory PPU and my eyes.



Excellent work, Tim!

Man I want one of these in 30-06!!!

That is one good looking rifle.

[timshufflin]

What an oustanding photo sir. Very nice representation.

[paid4c4]

Well done, you done good Tim! How does that puppy shoot?

Photo Shop! :D

That's a BM69 (sixty-nine a/k/a BM59 MK I) type gas cylinder and tri-comp. The BM62 has no muzzle brake and isn't cut for a bipod. Beautiful rifle, I damn sure wouldn't kick her out of bed!

Damn that's a good looking rifle!

[Rush2112]

Thanks for the compliments, found some good dope on the net, chatted w/ those smarter than I, and the project seemed do-able. The gas cylinder and the break did add 200 or so....

...and, I am stoked that the gun shoots almost as good as some of my ARs w/ irons and factory ammo at 100!


It would seem like I am the first in my AO with a Mini-G -- many fellow shooters stop by and inquire about the rifle. I suspect that even the Garand-Jedi-Masters secretly admire the build by the way they fondle her



Eli, thanks for the clarification - I couldn't determine the difference. Should have researched harder. Maybe MG69 for this hybrid?
Suggestions are good.
Whadda you think Tim?



Thanx again,
these babies are serious toys and are a blast to shoot [grunt, grunt, grunt]

[timshufflin]

Actually, I've been calling those rifles the BM14 but I'll think more on this.

[mikebaker1129]

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.

[Rush2112]

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?

[mikebaker1129]

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.

Here is a few pics of mine.

mmmm, lower band.

does that stock ferrule have the side sling mount gizmo?
I would like to have a side-slung-sling

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.

Eli

[mikebaker1129]

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.

just for fun, this is what it looks like w/out the furniture

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!

pic taken w/out the op rod and bolt


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. (http://forum.shuffsparkerizing.com/showthread.php?799-Spin-on-a-G.)


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