History
The BM59 is an automatic battle rifle developed in Italy in 1959. It is based on the M1 Garand rifle, chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO, modified to use a detachable magazine, and capable of selective fire.
Later revisions incorporated other features common to more modern rifles.
The BM59 was adopted in 1959 and served with Italian, Argentinian, Indonesian, and Moroccan armies. The earliest BM59s were manufactured from U.S.-manufactured M1 parts, including re-chambered barrels.
