Hey Guys, I need your help in identifying the type of mount that is on this FN. When I inquired about the mount from the seller, he told me that the owner had been told the mount was done at the FN factory. Indeed, if you look at the embossing that is on the rib, it is very similar to the embossing on the mount plate. I would like to identify the mount in hopes of getting a the rest of the mount that would have held the scope. I have provided a link below where you can see pictures of the rifle and the mount that I am referring to. The rifle is a real beauty as you will be able to see from the pictures. If you are wondering about the stock it is not factory issued but was made in Germany. The rifle got to the USA by a returning GI after the was was over. Any help that you may give will be appreciated. picasaweb.google.com/jack16530/F ... el1900328# Regards, jack1653 Hey Guys, A fellow has provided me the information about the scope mount. He has forwarded me a page from a book that showed the exact mount on my FN. It is called a Stoeger Side Mount and the scope that was used for this mount is called a Hensoldt and was made in Germany. It all seems reasonble given that the rifle had a stock replacement done in Germany also. Now my next question is; Where can I find one of the Stoeger Side Mounts and one of the Hensoldt scopes? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks, jack1653

Hi Jack, Have you tried New England Custom Gun Service? www.newenglandcustomgun.comThey offer a Jaeger side mount but it has to be custom fitted. It is listed on their "Specialized mounts and pricing" page, accessible by a link from their scope mount page.
