Argintine FN49 with canted gas cylinder/front sight...

[gunny33]

I have a buddy who has a FN-49 in 7.62mm. It will not run right. Fires, jams, clear jam, fire and jam. Not sure if they were carried and never fired. Likely seldom fired

CALIF-STEVE: Has your friend tried to adjust the gas system for the ammunition he is using? Google "FN49 gas adjustment", the tool is available from Numrich or an M14 Castle Nut Wrench works fine.

BREAKER: Sent a Postal MO.

I've since seen FN 49's with an FN (metric) mag in 7.62x51. As was previously suggested, the Argentine forces had them done at one time. I'd have sure likes to have found one of those...
