Looks to be an FN, but that safety lever is different than any of mine. If the barrel is factory, it may have a serial number matching the receiver’s on the right side just in front of the receiver ring. You should check the breech for a “C” ring, which would be a raisin in the cookie, so to speak. Odd stock, but a solid rifle. Good luck!

Does the bolt serial number match the receiver number?

I have seen a bunch of commercial FN Mausers with flag safeties.

Everything I see is an FN. I personally never ran across 1 with a military safety on it, but it could've been added at some point for who knows what reason.

SN on the bolt handle matches the receiver. 420XX Ran a hoppes soaked patch through the barrel, then pushed another through with a jag. A few more pictures…

Would make a darn fine 35 Whelen. Barrel looks big enough and 25” is terrific for the Whelen. F01

Looks like screw holes are off center? Who cares since someone could make a fantastic rifle from this firearm. Should sell quickly since the action is worth that much alone. Good luck.
The way life should be.

The question was asked if the rifle could be chambered in 270 win or 270 weatherby. A 270 win case will fit in the bolt face and also chamber. A 7 mag case, which shares the same case head as a 270 weatherby, won’t fit into the bolt face.

If I had the disposable cash, I'd have bought it just for the pig carving. That. Is. Awesome.
