    FN30 - Modle 1932 and the Modle 1938 aircraft guns FN Parts Comparison

    He talks about the nomenclature here Fabrique Nationale Belt-Fed 30 caliber Machine Guns

    If I understand correctly the M32 and M38 are derivatives of the FN30 and the FN30 is a derivative Browning M1919.

    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.
