I know nothing about them other than what I can piece together from the net and wikipedia; which means I could be reading the truth or absolute crap from people who know zilch.
I have a potential trade and was trying to determine the value of an FN-49. Here's what I know from the seller: it's all original and Argentine. It is a 7x57mm mauser with the 10 shot mag. The mag is not removable unless you want the spring and so on to fall out like on old trap door rifles. It has the scope "sniper" mount on the other side but never had a scope on it. It has no import markings anythere.
I can't get pics to upload because they are too big, but I could forward the email to anyone who wanted to see them.
The gun is amazingly clean. It's absolutely georgous considering it has to be pretty old. Kinda reminds me of springfield m1a. When I google it, the pics all look just like this one.
Any opinions on the value given what I have been told?
