Gordie K., a friend of gun lab, was nice enough to send me some pictures of a Beretta model 57 that he made in semi auto only. This is one of my to do projects and I am excited to see someone accomplishing this. Here are a few pictures of his build.

One of the interesting designs of this rifle is that the barrel extension is held in only by brazing it is place. There are on pins or steps in the receiver.

The barrel extension still attached to the right side of the receiver.

The inside of the left side of the receiver showing the brazing material.

The barrel threads and barrel extension threads are an acme type thread instead of a normal type of thread.

The internal shape on the receiver is well thought out design for machining.

A friend of gun Lab dropped me a line looking for some information of the magazines that the Beretta model 57 30carbine used.

Here are a set of pictures that I took of the issue magazine.

I hope this helps.

The picture from the post on 11-8 is from the bolt of a Beretta model 1957 carbine in .30 M1.

Here is the write up on it from the book ” The World’s Assault Rifles”. This is another book you should have in your library.
