Oct 7, 2011 · Improving My FN-49 Firing Pin Upon learning these facts, I promptly ordered a two-piece FP. However, additional online research revealed several blog posts written by FN-49 owners who had experienced OOB slam-fires after installation of the two-piece pin. WARNING: The following paragraphs describe modifications to the FN-49 firing pin.

Nov 17, 2011 · I have an Egyprian FN-49, and I have been looking for an original scope mount since 1986, or thereabouts. I just found this site/thread 2011-11-17 [I am not a very effective web browser]. I have been loking for any FN-49 scope mount- except the S&K hory bugger- for over 10 years, and I finally...

Apr 22, 2013 · Did most of you 'migrate' to FALfiles a few years ago? One can hear a pin drop.

Oct 3, 2013 · Greetings, I am running low on surplus FN ammo & need to procure some more.

When I got home I welded myself to my PC and perused rifle pics till I found it. 'IT' was an FN-49, I think Egyptian but I'm not sure on that.

Jan 16, 2012 · Nice little rifle. Venezuelan contract, 7x57, no muzzle brake though. I would love to find a bayonet for her, too. Anyone have a line on either item? Jim

Apr 6, 2024 · There don't seem to be any topics started here in the last few years. Maybe my conclusion is premature. By the way, I've no connection to these, but that website's Marketplace has two FALs built by Mark Graham of ARS. You probably can't find a better builder, especially with just a 3-month turn-around time last fall. He repaired my Century L1A1 (on Imbel) last …

Oct 5, 2002 · I've seen parts kits for each in Tapco and FAC, and receivers in FAC by Imbel and various US manufacturers. I hear that Imbel is better, and I would guess that the fit and function would be better between an Imbel receiver and parts kit than between a G1 parts kit and US made receiver. The US...
