/k/ I just bought a minty factory refurb fn49 for 600 with less than 1000 in my bank account, tell me I did nothing wrong and it'll be worth it.
Also interesting semi auto milsurp thread?
Pic kinda related.
I would have done the same. FN49s are sexy.

What caliber?
I'd do the same thing, then eat ramen till I got my balance back up.
>>33337713
probably should work more on personal financial discipline but whatever
it's an OK rifle, nothing to write home about
>>33338060
It's a fantastic rifle.

>factory refurb
Does it have the Eagle of Saladin crest on the receiver and a "D" letter serial prefix?
>>33337713
Fn49?
What are these from?
It looks like SKS and M14 had a baby. Interdasting
>>33338077
meh

France, really nice rifles I'd like to snag one at some point.

>FN
Don't you mean Belgium?
>>33338130
FN product that was immediately eclipsed by their own FAL.

Which is a shame, its a real nice looking rifle but it never got a heyday.

>tell me I did nothing wrong and it'll be worth it.
I think you did ok. Guns like that are really good looking and a blast to shoot.
The grenade launcher is one of the things I like best on the 49/56.
aye
this board in particular has some of the worst impulse control i've ever seen.
And it's insanely simple.
I'll post some pics from the gb auction.
Yea it's got the eagle. Dunno bout the serial prefix. Def has an arabic serial and an imperial one. The bluing looks fresh and the stock is one of the CE import replacement ones. Pic related. Cant wait to shoot er.

Anon please....its too much. I miss my 49 so badly right now.
>>33338906
Here's to good memories then. Hope you track down another.
>>33339133
It's not gone forever, I just loaned it out...but damn it still sucks not having it around.
>>33339145
Well that's good. Why'd you loan it? Somebody have a critter problem?
>>33339213
No they're writing a book and obviously need samples on hand to accurately write about them. Originally it was going to encompass ALL semi auto rifles until 1975 but...well that's a tad daunting. So now it's battle rifles of WW2 and the Cold War. Supposed to have it back by years end.

Fuck i shoulda bought a .308 one when i was getting a k31, dude was selling a bunch of cool ass old shit so he could get a mg

I've heard mixed stories about them. Mine seems to work though.
Occasionally the bolt fails to grab the next cartridge, but pretty rare.
sexy af.
