Opinions & Info for FN Commercial Mauser

[gunguy56]

I have a custom .25-06 with. a heavy Douglas barrel on a 1948 FN commercial action. There is an oval stamp on the right side of the FN receiver with 1948 inside the oval stamp below the wood line.No thumb slot on the left side of the receiver. I believe that the original owner had used it for prairie dogs, as the rifle will not stabilize typical .25-06 bullet weights used for deer hunting...must be slow twist rifling for ultra light .25 caliber bullets..going to get another barrel so it will shoot deer loads..
