I have a line on one of these and need to let the person know in the next couple of days. Having a hard time justifying another 30-06, but this one feels right.
It's a 30-06 with a 22" barrel from the early 60's from what I can tell. Easily 95%+ gun, original owner claimed to never have fired it. Has some minor rust on the floorplate and the bolt is real sticky. Wood is plain jane/montecarlo/cheek piece.
What also is throwing me off is some of the markings or lack thereof on the receiver. There isn't anything marked on the side wall or any proof marks above the woodline. I have not seen it out of the stock. The only thing visible is the caliber stamp and serial number.
The serial number begins with the letter J followed by 4 numbers. I am far from an expert, but when trying to look up FN's from this era, none of them seem to have this type of serial. It seems that most of the ones I can find with J are all Browning Safari's? I know it's the same action, just seems odd.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
