I want to thank those on this board who answered my WTB ads and helped me put together my FN-49 Collection. I especially want to thank Goose for his book and advice.

I would like to share a group shot of my FN-49 collection to date. All rifles are 100% matching including my latest Egyptian 3 Sling Swivel which also has a matching stock and original stock disc. I still need a Lux High Number with matching stock as well as a Lux and Colombian Bayonet to complete my main collection.

I would like a true Lux Sniper, but for now I will settle for an AL marked Scope which is on its way. One day I hope to add the ones not usually found in the states. I think I have the best shot at getting a Belgian.

If anyone has any of the items I seek please don't hesitate shooting me a PM. Also if you own a Colombian and haven't responded to the Colombian Mini Survey please do.

For those of us who are less well versed in FN 49s could you describe what the pictures shows?

I see an argentine 7.62 conversion, Egyptian, what I think to be Venezuelan and what I assume to be a Luxembourg rifle, but the others I do not know.

Very nice collection.

It's getting there. I had another Lux and Colombian, but sold them because they weren't 100% correct. Excited to get the Lux Scopes. Just need to find another Echo Military mount.
