I picked up an FN 98 action I dont know anything about. It has an imperial crown, under that is a stylized L, like the letter used for the english pound money. then ABL and under that 1951. It has a 30-06 mag box 3.42" I think it was, and beautifully finished. Any ideas as to what it was. Should be worth the $50 I give for it I'd think. | ||

Seriously? You actually paid money for it? Dude, you need to send it to me. Give you...$75.00 for it. Just kidding, sounds like a good action to start something with. | |||

Made for the Dutch, I believe under King Leopold, which explains the "L." 30-06 is the correct caliber, as we were giving them ammo by that point. $50 was a screaming deal -- congratulations. Hope this helps, Okie John. | |||

Nice find! What do you have planned for that? Would make a spiffy 9.3x62. I have one FN military action, not in the best of shape. You can still tell is was well made though. Todd | |||

This action is an 1951 FN Mauser action. Basically of Mauser 98 design, but post WWII manufacture. This rifle was used by the Belgian Navy and Argentinian Army I believe. An excellent action to build a sporter on. RifleDude | |||
