    FN Mauser Model 24/30 .22 Cal, Belgian Training Rifle

    I received another FN Mauser Model 24/30 .22 Cal training rifle yesterday.
    It was manufactured in 1952 for the Navy and is finished in a gray-green color.
    I have the Army model which has a black finish and is the most common model I have come across.
    From what I have read there are fewer Naval models, and I was fortunate to find one.
    The receivers are marked with a crown, below that is a large B, over ABL, and 1952.
    A few years ago I found a complete set of wood with metal for an Army model. The serial number of each gun is marked on the stock below the number on the receiver. Somewhere out there is a 24/30 stripped of its wood. Probably a Bubba job by some Poor Dumb SOB that doesn't realize how rare they are.

    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.

    Single shot or magazine fed?

    Could you do a photo or two showing the breech area with the bolt open?

    Did you want pictures of the bolt or breech in detail?
    Here are pictures of all three, the Israeli .22 was added for comparison as they were manufactured by FN at the same time. The Israeli .22 has a small feed ramp to help feed the rounds into the breech.
    I hope these are OK.
