Egyptian FN 49

[Nazgul9]

If by bullet test you mean put the bullet in the end of the barrel to see how far it goes it, failing th is not good. Either the bore or the muzzle is worn out. Several other things to look for with these. Some importers rebuilt them and used various parts from other rifles. Notably brass buttplates from British Enfields.

this rifle has a brass butt plate and has been refinished. Oh boy, I bid on it, but I emailed the seller again telling him I am no longer interested
