Just sent my last two kits to Shuffs.😬
Is the "Pc " portion something on the engraving Beretta did , do you have any references from historical photos to support that , or did you add that? I am waiting on the CMP for my Para with twist off receiver before I send it off for engraving. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately,

This item is not available to ship to CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, IL, NY, WA

Looks like the rifle in the AF ad has been around the block a few times. Still expecting my Shuff edition around the end of this month, hopefully. As much as I griped about the stock in my JRA kit, it is a lot better than the one shown above, ditto the rest of the parts. Count my blessings.

They actually have the Grade A rifles in stock also for $1589. The one that I posted is the Service grade. That sucks that they won’t ship them to California. 😡

It seems easy to remove the flashhider portion of the TriComp on a lathe, and I remember during the Fed Ban some guys sleeved flash hiders. This would make it Ok in California.
is there another solution like an affordable lock from another version that will fit the Alpine kits?

I tried to bid on an Alpini with removable tricomp off GB when a seller was auctioning a number of them with a low start price. They were closing at about $1600. I asked the seller if he could take off the Kali verboten parts and ship them separately from the rest of the gun. The reply was a very chilly "NO". Can't find the emails, so unsure if it was Yellowstone Armory or not.

I got my $361 sale kit today and it was pretty rough to be honest. Surface rust on most of the parts and the barrel looks significantly worse than the other 2 I received when they first showed up on the marked. I’ll try and clean it and see if it gets better(hopefully).

I did get an IHC BM59 marked bolt. I’ve got a IHC receiver that was going to sell (had the ad written and everything photographed) but now I’m considering just having it built to a BM59 also. I was hoping to get some Winchester marked BM59 parts for the that build I’m going to do.

Bummer about the kit. Hopefully it cleans up a bit.

Ihc bolt is neat though. I ended up getting h&r converted parts in my E kit which paired perfectly with the h&r receiver i had.

Guess I'm feeling better now about my earlier and pricier purchases, but feel bad for you guys. BTW, I bought a couple of BM59 bolts from JRA a few months ago, $100 for a complete bolt. I got a PB and a Winchester manufacture bolt, both in very nice shape. Dunno whether they have as good a selection inventory now, but worth a check if you desire a real Beretta bolt or a particular make US bolt as modified for the BM. Link below.

I was debating snagging a kit during the sale but I still have two kits with stocks I got from GPC years ago, plus a new Sarco barrel from the last batch in addition to a really nice Beretta barrel from the recent imports. Based on the reports I'm glad I didn't grab another kit.
