So I heard through the grapevine that someone had a FN-49 "kit" to get rid of and I was thinking to myself "self, you have no old world autoloading battle rifles". I got on the horn and R-32 says sure I gots one, what have you to trade. I have an amd-65 kit with wood stocks says I. Deal says he and it was done.

Now a little back note on the amd kit. My brother sent it to me to cut down for a pistol build. I sent him back a pistol kit made from a romy g kit and told him it was a fair trade...he believed me. Total money spent on amd kit 85 dollars.

When I got the fn from bunny it had everything except a magazine. The stock was also broken. On the phone to Sarco I go to get a stock and mag assembly. The assclown order taker tells me they dont have any followers for the mag but he has the bodies and springs. So I go about looking for a follower and find one on ebay with a bar magazine and I bid on it. I got outbid and decided to snipe it. Underestimating the speed of my dialup connection my bid went awry and I lost the auction. I was pissed!

Today a box shows up from Sarco with my stock in it so I am giddy as a schoolboy!( as giddy as a schoolboy with roids can be) I pull the stock out and try to assemble it....it dont fit
 IT DOESNT MFING FIT!!!!

I called Sarco back and they told me to pound sand because the stock is clearly marked non returnable. It was so I accept my shit luck. I got to looking at the broken stock and the new stock to see why the incompatibility and lo and behold the new stock has a recoil lug and the old one doesnt. Out comes the dremel and some chisels and I made the stock fit. You cant even tell from the outside. Except for the recoil lug holes that is. I will be cutting the lug down and supergluing the pieces into the hole so it looks right:)

Remember the lack of a follower? The magazine that came with the stock was complete. Follower and all. I am glad I didnt win that 45 dollar auction.

Total price to me for a working condition fn-49 in 30-06. Under 200 dollars.

THANKS R-32

Wait until you find out what happened to the kit.

What happened to it?! Goddamn this hydrocodone is nice.

EOP got his hands on it....

I've never seen anybody build an AK using JUST a dremel before. I mean, for everything.

And a welder!
Dont forget the welder!

That looks great!...


Im glad it worked out for you, it was just rusting away in a box in my garage, and I just had no interest in it at all. ( I have Garands! )


As for the AMD kit...


Well I had it for all of about 2 days before EOP claimed it as his.

I hope he posts pics soon, I think he still needs to finish his homemade brake/bbl x-tension, and final assembly when his piston arrives.

Let us know how it shoots, and I will see if I might have the Bayonet for it...No primices, but I usually buy bayonets for all of my rifles that take them.

I bet you would still get a little teary eyed if he put a nice rail and scout scope setup on it.

All that stuff I said up above is bullshit...


I knew I should have kept that thing.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the rivets....

He will never have to cry. I adore iron sights and I am gonna shoot the barrel out of this thing....then rebarrel it:) I am gonna get a case of m2 ball from cmp and go crazy.
