Goose,
I recieved the Eagle Fn49 today. WOW! I am very pleased!
Details:
Serial number: D1077X
Eagle crest
YEs, it does have a scope cut
No middle sling swivel (most likely repro. stock...just too nice)
No inforcement crossobolt (ditto)
The bolt is machined to accept a firing pin stop
Other details:
No serial numbers anywhere...except for the Egyptian recevier cover. Serial # is 10494 in Arabic (I believe).
The rear screw which attaches triiger assembly to upper DOES NOT have a locking screw.
The bolt has a knurled cocking handle.
Arabic gas plug
Magazine lacks any markings...and a little dinged up. Follower stamped 7.9.
Barrel is perfect. Century marked. Both it, and the new barrel which accompanied the kit (not CIA marked) have the FN crest, an "X" with a star above it, and numbered either "68" or "89."
The rifle came with a flash suppressor already mounted...not sure if it is soldiered..but she is defintely tight!
Plastic buttplate
The stock and handguards appear to be reproduction. VERY nice quaity though...i am impressed!
The rifle had a lot of cosmoline in inside of it. The gas plug and piston needed a little help to loosen apart...lot of dried gunk inside.
The rifle came with a B-Square mount, and the extra brand new 8mm FN49 barrel. I need to find a rear sight and spring...but the receiver cover is not damaged in any way, and I understand that Numrch has the parts that I need....hopefullly they have a metal buttplate!
