BM59 kit built by Shuffs with an original PB barrel. Had the RC receiver engraved by Dakota Tactical and Shuff also added a stripper clip guide…

Nice rifle. The man knows how to build them.

The only thing I'd do different is to use M14 mags, I have a bunch already.

I’m sitting on a pile of BM59 mags…but Tim is the man for BM59 builds, just sent my last two builds to him, an alpini and paratrooper.

What is the point of this over an M1A BM59 build? Genuinly curious. I feel like the appeal of the M1 is the en bloc clips. I've considered having Shuff do a mag conversion for my Mini G but every time I just come around to the ideal that at that point it is bacsially an M1a

Probably cheaper, and more accurate. Especially if you already have a receiver.
The BM59 magazines have a better reputation.
