Just back from a quick function check of a friend's FN-49, also known as the SAFN. This one is an Egyptian contract gun chambered in 8 X 57 mm. I only fired 10 rounds thru it to check for function--it worked, mostly--but it's not for me. I have an M1A and have shot an M1 Garand, and I find both of those fun to shoot, but not so the SAFN. Anyone else have any feed back on the FN-49?
