~$400 for a decent one in 8mm. Price climbs fast from there in other calibers.
Great shooting rifle. |

Where the hell can you get an FN-49 for $400.00??
I have been looking and I can rarely find one for sale and when I do they are usually asking like $600.00 plus. |

I have a Venezuelan FN49 that I bought decades ago.
It's a great rifle, and shoots well too  .Check out this recent thread: FN49 And, if you can find any FN49 in decent shape for $400, give me a call... Forrest |

I wish NJ would allow gun shows. I might find an FN49 for $400. All the auction sites have 8mm Egyptian contract rifles or CAI rebuilds for $600+.
I want one a lot but I can't spare the cash to overpay by 300 dollars. |

By the way, although there's a link in my link above to Wayne Johnson's new book on the FN49, here it is directly:
FN49 This is, by far, the best book out on the FN49. What's known about the production of the FN49, for all the different contracts, is here... Forrest (No, I don't get any kickbacks from the sale of the book. Yes, I did buy a copy). |

Hi. I reciently acquired a FFL03 C & R and always wanted to purchase a FN-49.
Does anyone own one in 30.06? I believe that there is a Luxenbourg, Belgian, and perhaps some South American variants in that caliber. I am curious of accuracy, trigger pull, and/or any personal pros and cons that you may have experienced. Also are most of these rifles covered in a Black lacquer originally? |
