Hello all you FN49'rs.
I have a Columbian contract FN49, that I just finished getting back to near original condition.
All serial numbers match, but the previous owner had take a hacksaw to the front sight so that he could put some abomination of a tubular sight on it.
Since the front sight is part of the gas tube, it had to be replaced. Fortunately that is not difficult part to find.
The main stock has also been replaced, but as I understand it, this was somewhat common on the Columbian contract FN's. It also had a recoil pad instead of the corrugated steel butt plate that should be on it. I also located one of those that just arrived in the mail to me this week and is awaiting installation.
