German G1 FN,s

**jeff hamerstone** · 04-12-2009 09:37 PM

I have 2 German icon

FN manufactured G1's. Both have wooden butt stocks with metal hanguards with horizontal ribs, and the folding bipods. One rifle has a synthetic pistol grip the other has a wooden pistol grip. the wood griped one has an X carved in it , does that stand for what I think it does??? and does anybody know the production periods of the wooden grip?

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

IIRC, they came new with wood that would be replaced with synthetic as needed.

"...has an X carved in it...does that stand for what I think it does???..." What do you think it means? A big 'X'? Likely put there by some troopie looking for a better grip. Wood gets slippery when it's wet and icy. Gloves don't always help.

Most went to Turkey icon

, where they were beaten up, carved up and the finish worn off.
