.22 trainers - found a mate for my FN

[kjohn]

I have had a real nice FN .22 trainer for a number of years, and have always had a hankering for one of the Remington barreled 98 conversions.

Well, Tinman204 felt sorry for me and offered me one. We made a trade and here she is. It is a bit "humped" at the fore-end, but otherwise appears to be quite usable.

Kjohn, so glad that you are happy with that one!! It's neat to see how different armies dealt with training rifles, that one is quite neat in the fact that they converted a k98. I've put many rounds through it and I will say it is quite accurate!

I'm not going to lie folks I ended up with a smile ear to ear cause Kjohn also felt bad for me and pulled out some nice "junk" from his pile to make me feel better!!

The top one at the fore-end. I haven't seen another one up close for many years, so I don't really know what they are supposed to look like.

Maybe "humped" isn't the right term. Repaired might be the case.

the top one is correct , the bottom one should not have a bayonet lug , check it and see if there is a hole drilled for the cleaning rod.

Only in the metal, not the wood.

I think some one has messed with it, it should be like the top one also.

 

[kjohn]

Yeah, maybe I'll just sporterize it, or make lamp stands out of both of them.

 

[gaff]

well I messed up , it appears the bayonet lug is correct on that variation. hope you haven't sporterized it .

Can you post a pic of the action and bolt.

I have one like this but dont really know anything about it.

I will post pics of both actions, etc. Just need to get camera and guns in the same place at the same time!

 

[kjohn]

Okay. Here's a few pics. Not award winning quality, but this is what you get:
