![]() ![]() In the grand scheme of FN production, there werent a lot of these and theyre uncommon today. It had the solid left receiver wall AND remnants of the clip system with the hump and general pattern clip cutout, but non-functional. Looks to be all what we are calling commercial FN98 here in Canada. ![]() Indeed ironically, Im with a couple of these transitional models. If this description doesnt quite make sense, just go with me on it. These were literally earliest modern solid left sidewall FN products, yet retaining residual earlier model 98 features later omitted. Indeed, I pinged heavily on the fact of the scope mounting and no indication of receiver bridge hump which might have impeded such installation.īased on clarifying information youve added, serial number and chambering clearly indicating the transitional model. Please also note I couched my prior post opinion in context of appearance. Rather too, a different sort of sub-animal, transition model commercial postwar FN action Husqvarna. I know the sliding trigger block safety has been added and the wood cutout for that.įirst the notation that Baribal is correct in that the barrel configuration being proper and original. It doesnt look like the barrel as been unscrewed, Ive seen similar rifles but in 30:06. If you would kindly provide any nomenclature information, particularly on the barrel as well as chambering and any residual serialization such as perhaps on bolt, presumably the picture could be made more complete and more exact Mfg date derived. This was common on later FN marketed actions rifles, but not employed in factory production on your rifle series. Neither your photos nor description reflect any barrel nomenclature which might be telling in terms of better classifying what it is.Īlso the serial number of this model rifle was appended to the barrel which, if removed, effectively eliminating the SN itself.įurther noting the safety is altered from the original striker impinging assembly to a trigger-impinging unit. The stock appears typical of Husqvarna manufacture and style. Such FN as employed in the Husqvarna series, until 1954 in the Model 640, aka Hi-Power, aka Model of 1951. For example, if the serial number begins with 99 the model year is 1999.Īll of these seem to be in 8mm Mauser. ![]()
