Hey guys,

Handled a nice little FN M1950 carbine last Saturday at a local gunshow. It's chambered in 30-06, correct as far as I can tell. Ball's Mauser book devotes a paragraph to the carbine. I can find hardly any info on the net.

It was blued (maybe rearsenaled). Read somewhere that they originally had a black baked on finish for the army and gray for the Navy? Wood was nice and had a large "77" painted on the right buttstock. Think it had a bent bolt.

The dealer is local and milsurps were not selling well. Might still have it, $599.00.

For the price I would like to have some more info like serial numbers, specially' for the ones that went to the Congo.

Anyone have one they could post photos of or just supply some information on these very cool little carbines, crest and other markings? There is just nothing out there on these pieces.

Thanks for any info,

Lancebear
