Any suggestions on which milsurp Ammo is best (safe) to use in the FN?

I can't give you any specifics, but I know it's not unusual to run across mil surp that's for machine guns. It's too hot for the FN49. PAX

Sorry S, no luck. I found a circular nut, but it doesn't fit any of the fine threaded screws, and nothing with a 90* shoulder, or flat like a lug would be. PAX

I have access to a barrel. What does it take to swap them out?

Someone whose done it before, more than once, or a competent smith. PAX

You really shouldn't be needing to remove the cap often, if you've blued the new threads and Loctite it on.
You'll be needing a copy of the book "The FN-49 The Last Elegant Old-World Military Rifle" by Wayne Johnson. Also, there are 8MM barrels out there for pretty cheap. PAX

You didn't mention if it had an eagle or a crown on the receiver or if it matched. $600 isn't too terrible in the worst case scenario, there's not that many of them. I agree that a replicap would be best.PAX

I might have one, I'll check. PAX

Well Fellas, I was surprised at the rapid replies I received from the various Boards I'm on. I got this list sent to me, and went with #5 just to have it if/when needed. 1. SA 6(or 8?)-48, TE=3, MW=3, chromed gas cylinder pads........$90 2. SA 9-64, TE=3+, MW=4.....$75 3. SA 3-44, TE=4+, MW=4......$...

Hi Fellas,

I've got a Winchester receivered M1 with a shot out Springfield barrel. Has some other Winchester stamped parts. What are my options to get it to be a decent shooter? It's my onliest M1. Thanks PAX

With an SKS "BEST" can be the luck of the draw. As far as accuracy goes, most all Paratroopers are a tad "more accurate", than any standard length rifle out to 100 yards. I suspect that it has to do with harmonics AND a fresh crown. A pinned barrel is as likely to be as good a shooter as a screwed b...

Man, you VA guys better throw down some voter pressure. I'm in Kali and the battle has been endless. Good luck, but I don't like the feel of it, it's cancerous. Seems like some States are trying to out regulate Kali & the north eastern seaboard. PAX

Friends, the Second Amendment, and in fact the entire Constitution, means only what 5 of the nine judges on the Supreme Court say it means. We do not have to speculate what WILL happen if any of the "loyal opposition" candidates appoint judges! This is true...but what about enforcement? I'm in Kali...

It is upsetting. But would be much tougher in the US, as we're the ONLY country that has it built into our Constitution. Also there's something like 3.2 fire arms per person here. PAX

Would a SAR8 qualify? PAX
