We have to rely on word-of-mouth ... print advertising is just too expensive. We ran some small ads for the book in Shotgun News but had little yield from those ads. Some of the book retailers feature the book on their web sites so some folks become aware of it that way. Additionally, some of the gun show book sellers carry it as well.wildwilly said:Your book is tops but only if you know about it.
AL = Luxembourg contract. The Lux rifles are actually the most common of the 30-06-chambered contracts here in the U.S. so if you want an '06 rifle - you will most likely end up with a Lux. While there are only about 6,000 of these around, they do show up on the auction sites and at gun shows from time to time.wildwilly said:Wouldn't mind finding an al marked one I think thats one of the hard to find 06s

Looking for a .308 barrel for a FN49. Is there any source for one other than turning from a barrel blank?After nearly three years, I am discontinuing my FN-49 survey activity. My thanks to all the people who took the time to capture and submit the data on their FN-49 rifles and related equipment over the past 34 months.
The results of the survey, along with several thousand hours of other research, were documented in a recently published 200 page book on the FN-49 (see www.fn49.com).
Best regards,
