Mexican 1902

Note the gas port hole in the right front ring.
The round to flat edges of the bottom side walls
And the extra metal at the rear guard screw bottom flat

Thanks for the replies. Can’t find any info about a small ring FN Mexican or what ever the hell it is. It does have 250 SAV stamped on the front ring.
KP, not sure what to do with it.

Looks like a Swedish 96 and a Mauser 98 had a baby. .250 Savage on the ring? Might be a Kurz action and valuable.

I hate to state the obvious here but rebarrel it to 250-3000.


If you can figure out what it left the factory as and then duplicate the barrel profile that wound look amazing.
