Frankonia Forest Actions

I have seen several mauser Frankonia Forest Actions, and tyhey look like FN commercial mauser actions, but I am not sure. May somebody indicate what is the origin of those action?

Thank you in advance, very much for your comments

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

For the low price quoted, I bet these are made in Jugoslavia.

It looks to be standard 1898 fare: flag safety, a Mark X looking bolt handle, etc.

Possibly FN.

Call your dealer over there to check it out.

Looks to be decent quality.

If I recall well the rifles or actions are made by Zastava

Boy! That sling swivel placement on the muzzle sucks!

What's the problem with the front sling swivel. I carried an M-16A1 set up like that for a few years and it seemed to work pretty well.
