Could one of you help identify the year of this rifle (SN #K1494)? Also, would it be CRF?
Thanks

dpcdAll post 91 Mausers are CRF. But they made 91s until 1901.
As stated, you need to provide the model of the firearm you reference.

3584ELKHere is a blurb I found online regarding the Musketeer rifles:
The first Musketeer rifles were offered in the late nineteen fifties, but most specimens date to the nineteen sixties. While earlier FN actions had steel bottom metal, the use of aluminum was creeping in among rifle manufacturers of the sixties. Almost all of the Musketeers were so equipped. That was simply working toward a standard of the day. Nothing really wrong with that except that it is more prone to unsightly scratches and much more of a problem to refinish if necessary. The Musketeer that you observed likely incorporated a good quality adjustable trigger. Belgian proof marks would only have been applied in the proofing process. An exported action alone could not have been fired and ergo, was not subject to being ‘proofed’.
