Belgium FM Action Threads

I took an old barrel off of a Belgium icon

FM action and was surprised to find that the threads were not the standard count that you would find on a milsurp barreled action. Can someone please educate me on the thread differences since I want to rebarrel the FN action. Thanks in advance.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Which model of FN action do you have? Salt Flat

It came off of a Musketeer brand rifle. 30-06 caliber. Not a mag model action, but a long action

Pirate, Sorry I can't find much on this. However, most 98 types are 12 TPI V threads. I did find a reference to 10 TPI square threads used on some FN's but not sure about that. Maybe work the other direcction on this-- How many TPI is yours and what thread form? I guess it makes sense to just duplicate what you have since you know it fits. Salt Flat

Can't you just check it with a thread gauge? You must have one of those around...
