Very interesting. Got more pictures Jimmy? I might know someone that can make that happen. If he has issues let me know please.
This action is the same 12ga action in back of S &V book marked sculpted prototype. I do believe there was a guy at FN doing this before the light models we all know today.
You push that first or while pushing on the safety. Not sure why they made it like that. You really wouldn’t push the paw without pushing the safety.
Here are some of Matt’s pics barrel serial doesn’t match and I believe someone else besides fn tried to lighten it, has holes in loop
There is a pic of a lightened barrel in the A5 book. It just doesnt have as many holes as this one. I agree the barrel is probably not original.
