I have looked at a few reviews, ect. and haven't seen another rifle with the safety on the right hand side like mine. Maybe FN did it? I'm thinking the owner had it modified. I like the safety like this. Another question. It has a scope mount. Did FN ever set these commercial rifles up for a scope or is this another modification by an owner?
I have come to the conclusion that this rifle was made in the early 1950's.
