THIS WAS A CONSIGNMENT BUT WE JUST TOOK IN ON TRADE…….In excellent all matching condition with a mint bore, we have a top example of a rare and highly sought after FN49 rifle in 30-06 caliber as Issued to the Army of the small country of Luxembourg. Â Tiny little Luxembourg spared no expense to man it’s 28 man army; they each got one of these very fine rifles and their own tank…no expense was spared. You can see the “AL” crest on the top of the receiver. Â The FN49 is certainly the finest of the WW2 era semi auto rifles, and the fit and finish is impeccable. Â Although they were not put into production until 1947, the design had been pretty much been finalized in 1939 however the outbreak of war prevented production. Â When it finally hit the market place it was well received in spite of a glut of surplus ww2 weapons that were available at that time. Â Orders continued for this rifle as late as 1961. Â
Very few Luxembourg rifles were ordered and they are highly sought after due to the pristine condition and the very popular 30-06 caliber. Â If you are looking for one this is about as nice of a specimen as you will locate. Â This is a really beautiful piece. Â
