DONE FN49 8mm

[Plater1]

Egyptian FN49. 8mm Mauser, 10rnd non-detachable mag. Clean bore with strong rifling. Not matching #'s. As i understand it, some FFL's won't do the transfer so i am willing to travel to your FFL to do the deal(if it's far, will need some gas $). $825/BO and buyer pays transfer fee. Location: Bath, NY

Someone was just looking at one of these on gunbroker the other day. Let me see if I can find the tread and member.

Never mind same member.

There was some confusion on my part concerning the non-detachable magazine. There is more than one version of this rifle and i just wanted to make sure it was safe act ok before i let it go.

I only fired it a few times to make sure it worked. Seemed to work fine.

I guess I don't understand, is the magazine fixed or removable, if fixed, how is it fixed? If it is removable, is that why gun shops won't do a transfer, if its fixed, why won't they do the transfer?

If this gun is over 50 years old it wouldn't matter if it was a fixed mag or not. Still transferable since the safe act allows for the transfer of "Antique," really C&R, firearms that would qualify as an "Assault Weapon."

The mag is fixed. you can remove it, but it comes off in separate pieces. The gun is way over 50 years old also. When i get a few minutes i will take some pics of the mag removed so you can see how it's attached.

This is correct. Antique arms are exempt.

You press a round in the grove and pry the catch back and the mag body releases. You can't load the mag and insert it, but you can top load with strippers.

How is the bore? Have you shot this rifle? Im sending you a PM.

The bore is 75-80%. The stock has no visible cracks, but it does have some miles on it. The handguard and stock seem to be two different types of wood. I shot it when i first got it (99) and had to play around with the gas adjustment collar to get it just right. I was just showing another member yesterday how to adjust it. Like his rifles previous owner, they had it up to high and it was wrecking the brass. Other than that it worked fine with surplus and new brass case ammo.
