FN Model 1949

Semi-automatic rifle sold to Argentina after WWII. Argentine crest on receiver. Originally, it was chambered for the 7.65x53mm Mauser cartridge and had a fixed 10 round magazine. Later, nearly all were converted for the Argentine navy. These will be marked “ARA.” A new 7.62x51 Nato/.308 barrel was installed and a detachable magazine system was added. The magazines held 20 rounds and were unique to the design. Some Argentine Navy FN 1949s were imported to the U.S. in the 1990's and the magazines were shortened to 10 rounds to comply with the 1994 "Assault weapon" law. After this law expired in 2004, some unaltered 20 round magazines appeared on the market.
