Very interesting and informative thread - thanks! It got me to thinking about one of my safe queens that I purchased in 1968. It was part of a shipment of guns sent to a Kmart type store that was just opening. They used all kinds of strange guns to fill the racks.
This particular rifle is a FN Mauser in 30.06 made for the Colombian Army. I noted from the discussion that military models are not the most desirable.
My question is this, should I just get rid of it or would it be usable as the basis for a good rifle?
I'm hoping that the photos I just took are attached.
