As I am trying to learn a wee bit here and if you're so inclined, did the fact that it was drilled for a receiver sight tip your thoughts more to FN than Santa Barbara?
After I'd typed my response, I wasn't sure if I'd ever seen a Santa Barbara drilled like that, you know?
The bolt handle shape could sort of be either one - as could the bolt release... I think...
This older age thing has been less fun than I'd hoped it would be irfubar - the data which was once clear and accessible is now scrambled at times.
The worst of it is I know I have the answer to my own question in a book on my own book shelves - now which book it is sir, that I can't answer!
All the best to you as we head into warmer weather.
