Hi Guys-
I am in the market for a new-to-me rifle; a surplus semi auto.
I don't want to mess with a Hakim or Rashee.
I am pretty much narrowed down to a FN-49; don't care if it is 7mm, 8mm or 30-06. Either chambering, ammunition will be more expensive then the other rifle on my short list- a SVT-40. I have read the SVT-40 can only fire light ball 7.62x54r?
Normally, I would consult surplusrifle.com, however, the site appears to have gone kapoot.
Anyone care to explain the ideosyncrasies of these rifles and provide an honest comparison?
Thanks in advance.
