�Collectors� The FN-49 Egyptian contract model, chambered in the classic 8mm Mauser, is a remarkable semi-automatic rifle that embodies both historical significance and engineering excellence. Crafted by the renowned Belgian manufacturer FN Herstal and designed by the legendary Dieudonn� Saive, this rifle is a testament to mid-20th-century military innovation. With its reliable gas-operated action and robust build, the FN-49 was a favored choice for military forces across 9 nations. The Egyptian variant, specifically, stands out due to its extensive use during periods of regional conflict, including the Suez Crisis, making it collectable to any military arms collection. It has a 23� blued barrel with a flash hider and bayonet lug, a front blade sight protected by ears and adjustable for windage, and a rear tangent leaf sight adjustable for elevation. It has a smooth almost full length stock with pistolgrip and wood top barrel shroud and brass disk mounted on the right side along with a brass butt plate on the rear, and a 10rnd magazine that is loaded via stripper clips is mounted on the bottom metal by the trigger guard rounding out its historical wood and steel configuration. The FN-49’s overall LOP is 13�, making it comfortable for most shooters. It has a couple dings in the wood stock. Please see photos. C&R
