How many FN-49's were mfg.?
I've been trying to find out how many FN-49's were mfg. total. I just can seem to find a source for this info. I'm hoping someone on Milsurps will have it and not mind sharing.
Also the breakdown in the 3 different calibers. Thanks for any help.

War is an act of force and to the application of that force there is no limit! So say the philosophers (Carl von Clausewitz b 1780 d 1831) of war.
Necat omnes! Deus suos agnoscet.
The application of the proper amount of high explosives can solve any problem.

It was my understanding that total production was about 160,000 pieces, with half going to Egypt and the other half broken into 7 separate contracts.
Hope this helps.

Rather scarcer rifle than I thought! Since there's a Venezuelan 7mm version just in front of me, how many of those were built?
