![]() Is this the manufacture date? Venezuela's Independece Day, I believe, is 5th July. There was a date stamped 15 April 1901 just above the word independencia. You guys were correct - with such little information that was impressive!!! Underneath the mount is the national crest of Venezuela. Well last night I decided to take the scope base off figuring it probably needed cleaning anyway and I have not had a chance to sight the rifle in at the range. It took awhile to find the bolt release on the left side of the rifle and more time to learn to push the floor plate towards the trigger while depressing the plate pin to remove the assembly and even longer to remove the firing pin.ĭoes anyone have an idea when this FN action was made? This also appears to be a large ring Mauser. The bolt has a flag safety that must have been modified with a Buehler safety because it is a two position with safe on when the flag is turned upward and off when turned to the right which I understand is opposite of the 3 position mauser type. Unfortunately the scope mount is hiding what is on top of the barrel, however, it looks like a crest symbol or perhaps a flower. ![]() On the other side is a number stamped 7900. ![]() On that same side there are some symbols with PV and an arrow pointing away from the PV. ![]() On the side of the rifle is The Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre and underneath is Herstal. I came across a FN Mauser configured in 25-06 that was in excellent condition and it is now part of my collection. ![]()
