2019 Spring Vintage Military Rifle Postal Match

Welcome, Merle!
Yes, that's a Venezuelan FN-49.
The tiny little white tag above the magazine says 7mm, so I don't confuse it with my 8mm Egyptian.

I thought I saw a muzzle break there.
I have one too, but it came without a mag.
I ended up modding a repro 8mm mag, and it seems to work OK.
I'll find out pretty soon...

Any luck?

Any luck?

so far only a couple of rage trips - it was OK for that
pretty soon I intend to try it for this match......

I know an FN-49 can do better, so now I want to try this with my Venezuelan 7mm, and do both slow-fire and rapid-fire.
