Fn 49 / Why I like the FN-49s
« on: July 30, 2013, 08:40:26 pm »
Guess I'll start the thread with some pics that illustrate the beasties.  I've been shooting them for over 40 years and have learned to like em. Strong, well-made, perhaps quirky in some regards (firing pins, using proper powders for reloading, etc.), and interesting in their variety and history.  Enough of that, take a look at some examples! (hope the photos show, I'm not seeing them in the preview. If not, I'll try again another day!)

Mauser Military Rifles / Re: The most cosmo'd rifle I ever received:

I think my worst cosmo job was a brand new in-the-wrapper SMLE No.4 Mk. 1 slathered heavily. But underneath all of that gunk was an absolutely gorgeous rifle.  I had no idea the Brits every made anything so nice.
