Yep, pre war (machine work like only FN could do) ex Nazified FN 98, rebarreled to 7.62 NATO (308) by the Israelis in 1967. I picked it up in 1988 for 90 bucks. Bore is like new, shoots cast bullets like a dream.

I converted it to scout rifle format few years back, now weighs in at a tad less than seven pounds, scoped & slung. Even with the bbl shortened to 19 inches, it is still deadly accurate.

I own many other guns, but if push should ever come to shove, it is the one I would go out the door with.
