| That is easy if you can supply a pic of the action and the serial number. If you don't have pic capabilities, the serial number may be enough.

| If it has the ejector slot in the left bolt lug its a FN. If the ejector is located at "5 o'clock" on the bolt face and both lugs are solid like on the pre '64 model 70s you have the sweedish HVA action. The HVA was a "small ring" action and the FN a "large ring". Thats about all I know to tell you. FNMauser

| Thanks guys - I've confirmed the proof marks are Belgian and it is definitely a 1947 FN c-ring action. Much appreciated. Charlie. |
