Ahhhh. got ya, I plan to leave it if shoots as well as the seller claims.:thup:

Yep, you are correct but it could be made correct very easily and even if it stays 30-06 what is wrong with making it as complete of a rifle as possible? We can only guess as to when and where the...

I like it, I am not walking away and if it shoots well like the owner states I will leave it. If it is a crappy shooter I will put a new 7.7mm Jap barrel on it and call it good. Thanks everyone for...

Do you all find it odd that they went to the trouble to re-chamber the rifle and then left it in it's original military configuration? So many fellas in the 50s were doing sporters that I am...

So I bought what I think is a good representation of the WWII Type 99 rifle. With a full mum which is important to some and not to others and with all matching numbers. It is a Nagoya rifle from my...

I just got an Eddystone too, must be something in the air. Mine is also a 9-18 rife. All E's and the big bonus to me is the Elmer Keith inspection stamp. I love these guys and they are my...

I would say a M1912 Spanish maybe, South American? Not my cup of tea but interesting.:banghead:

I picked up a Swiss 1899 model bayonet I think. I got it thinking it was a K31 bayonet but alas it does not fit. It is marked Waffenfabrik Neuhausen and is in really fine condition overall. What...

Your .308 marking is put there by CAI the importer per import law. Under the upper hand guard you will find the original military caliber designation of 7.62mB if I remember correctly or 7.62x51mB...

As I understand there are 2 models of this particular rifle called by collectors a M1935 and M1950. Early M1935 receivers are single broach cut and it is located at the very forward end of the...

I have done as much research on these as I think can be done. Very limited info and most folks who claim to know Mausers think these are G33/40s when they first see them. No crests are common,...

I just bought one and you did quite well at that price. A matching Politie marked M1950 FN produced rifle in 8mm in A+ condition with bayo and sling I have seen go for $900 to $1300. They also came...

Fazackerly :thup:

Here's what I know if it is a short carbine length, M1950 FN Carbine Dutch East Indies Politie marked carbine. Also made for other countries some chambered in .30-06 anf mostly started life in other...

Thanks Villers. I am very curious to see the Turk model to see how they compare.

Thanks, hope mine shoots better as I get used to it. No sight radius to speak of but for police work for which it was designed it was OK.

Just got a M24/30 and yes I know what you mean about the shorter than short carbines! I do love those carbines though. I still lack a Turk in my collection but maybe someday. Here, I will share a...

No response yet from a email to FN, not that I am really expecting any. I have done some more digging on my own and here's some updated possibilities. I am now almost positive that the rifle started...

Politie marked Mausers had no crests. Thanks for the reply appreciate it.

What I have is a FN M1950 carbine, this much I know. The rifle is a sweet, cherry little thing but I am perplexed. It seems to be a Dutch or Moroccan carbine as it is marked Politie on the receiver...

I would bet against that being the case but I would also state that he may not be actively trying to deceive a buying public. I would guess that if it were a genuine No.5 trials rifle the price tag...

Nicely done!:)

Well it is a couple of steps closer to being...

Looks to be an Israeli conversion of a VZ but that just my humble opinion. Interesting bayonet adaptor on the front.

Looks like you have a project there but it looks like a good one. The X on top of the receiver means that during an inspection there was rust found in the bore/chamber of the rifle. It was treated...
