Have an “ARA” cartouche on the buttstock? On left side or right side? Have scope cut on the left receiver rail? Note: It’s generally accepted that all Venezuelans had the scope cut and muzzle brake so I am not surveying for that data.Īrgentine Contract (7.62x51 chambering w/detachable box magazine): Optional question: Have a 2-piece or 1-piece handguard? (requires loosening the lower band in order to wiggle the handguards to find out). Have a circular “Fuerzas Armadas Venezuela” cartouche on the right side of the buttstock?ĭoes the rear guard screw (behind trigger guard) have a small lock screw? If so, does the bolt serial number match the receiver serial number?
Optional question: Is the bolt machined to take a firing pin safety stop? (This machining is in the top of the bolt and is milled down into the firing pin channel on the aft end of the bolt). Have a reinforcing crossbolt in the stock? Have a middle sling swivel located about 2” in front of the magazine? The upper part of the dovetail is visible – the lower end of the dovetail is usually at or slightly below the stock.Įgyptian Contract (8x57 chambering – 7.92x57 for you purists): 5” in height, that runs along the left receiver rail. The “scope cut” is a shallow female dovetail. Please replace the last 2 numbers of your serial number with “XXs” unless your serial number is 3 digits or less – then use one “X.” This limits the fidelity of the data, but protects everyone’s privacy. I only capture serial numbers down to a block of 100 numbers (i.e., 99XX) and I DO NOT retain any names with the data. If you are interested in the survey results as of March 2nd (3,500 words!), they are posted on the FAL Files Board at: FN-49 Survey Results You may post your results on this thread, or if your prefer, email me direct at. The more rifles in the data base - the more we learn. I would appreciate it if all FN-49 owners on this Board would participate in this survey. We have learned a lot about the FN-49 as a result of Board member’s contributions. I now have data for 305 FN-49 rifles in my data base. I have been running FN-49 surveys on a number of Boards for several months.
