Keep up the posts I like to see your collection, it gives me good ideas on what to go for next.
I do have a question how does the FN49 compare to the M1 Grand?

I will chime in since I have both.
The FN49 is the superior weapon for a few reasons.
- easier and friendlier gas system...its very similar to the FN-FAL gas system because the fal was based on it.
-easier to clean, taking apart the garand is not bad if you know how to do it, but it is kind of a pain in the ass.
- guide rod on the M1 garand is prone to damage if you use modern ammunition.
-both have very good sites
- M1 garand can load faster due to its enbloc system, while the FN49 is loaded with chargers and can be topped off.
- FN49 holds 10 rounds and doesnt go PING!!! after 8-rounds letting people know your empty.
-FN49 is lighter
Don't get me wrong the M1 garand is a fantastic weapon, but the FN-49 is the next evolution of the semi-auto service rifle.

iamkris I wasn't asking you to hold back on your photos by no means. What I meant was even if you've already posted up the rifle that someone else was going to post, they should post anyways because the OP still wants to see everyone's. Not just one persons. I didn't meant for you to take it like that man. I apologize I made it sound like that.

I will generally agree with that assessment...plus the FN49 is the father of my favorite battle rifle, the FAL.
Then again, I love my Garands! Between them and the FN49, I take the Garands to the range a lot more.

How long have you had it, they get hungrier the longer you own them.

Agreed. Let's see some more, people, don't be shy!
Damn, LK. That is the prettiest SVT I've seen around. The ones I usually see look older than they actually are, and the price is ridiculous.
I'm waiting on two milsurps to come in: an M44 and a Russian Tula SKS.
But for now... Good ol' Mosins:
<---beat-up 1943 Izzy round receiver 91/30, like-new 1935 Tula hex receiver 91/30 --->
More of the Tula.
