My friend said his dad had a new gun, so I obviously asked "Can I come over and see it?". They didn't know anything about the gun, only that that they had bought it from some guy. So I look at the gun, it seems kinda farmiliar, then I read the marking "Fabrique Nationale" on the side of the reciever, and the light bulb goes off in my head. Aha! This is an FN-49! I tell my friend's dad I think it's worth a good amount of money, and he says he'll give it to me for $200. It appears to be in fine condition, though I am no expert on surplus firearms. Still has traces of cosmoline or whatever on it.
I think my parents are willing to buy it.
What do y'all think? How much is it worth? It's chambered in 8mm Mauser, which is why this guy wants to sell it (cost of ammo). That's all I know.
