Do me a favor and recheck your data when you pick up the rifle and then post an updated report. I know what you mean about the waiting period as I am also a resident of the PRK. Gyrene Thanks for contributing the data on the new rifle. The only FN-49s with 1-piece handguards WERE the 1st 4000 Vennies so obviously the word got back to FN and they phased in a design change on all subsequent rifles. It could have been done in Venezuela but most were probably cut here in the U.S. There have been reports of rifles in this range that have 2-piece handguards - it's thought that these handguards may have originally been 1-pc that were cut in the area under the band as an expedient to more readily adjust the gas. My goal is 500 rifles, but 300 is GOOD progress!īlackbird - Thanks for the data - you just put me up to 341 rifles in the data base! Just FYI, nearly all Vennies below SerNo 4000 are reported to have 1-piece handguards. 300 rifles was an important milestone for me. Can you take a look at your posts and resubmit that last rifle(s)? I can't make out if you are reporting just an Argentine OR an Argentine AND a Colombian (which would be a total of 5 rifles). You have 2 posts with 3 rifles on the first post and 2 rifles on the second post. I've got your data on the 2 Egyptians and the 1 Venezuelan which brings me from 297 up to 300 rifles in the data base!!! I can't quite decipher your other entries however.
