John Ryan Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Italian Garand and BM59 receiver re-marking I am getting parts ready for a project for to have Tim Shufflin convert a Garand receiver to BM 59 and was thinking about duplicating the receiver marking that Italians used to note the caliber change. They removed the “Cal .30 M1” by either milling a band across it or repeating pattern over it. This is the Tippo 2, 7.62 Garand marking which is more of a milled swipe and hand stamped cal conversionThanks to the provider of the pic. I can’t remember where I got it..http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Rotor_/M1/pix1800876515.jpg.. This is, presumably, the BM59. Instead of a stamping this is engraved or possibly rolledThanks to the provider of the pic. I can’t remember where I got it..http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Rotor_/M1/BM59heel.jpg. CAL.7.62mmP BERETTA 63 The remarking on original USGI receiver is added to the flat above the heel and a new # marked below the original in this example. Now adding a ser # is out for me but I would love to find someone to do the marking work. Does anyone know anyone who could handle this type of engraving? I have seen lots of laser engravers out there and that result does just not look right to me. I'm looking to go a more traditional route.

lathehand Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I wonder if Wisconsin Engaving would do it. Google the name to see what they can do.I have no connection to the company, other than they do engraving work for us on plastic injection molds.

wjkuleck Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I would tread very carefully here, because altering markings is frowned upon by the BATFE. I would check with the ATF Technical Branch and get a letter. Regards, Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
