It took awhile to find the bolt release on the left side of the rifle and more time to learn to push the floor plate towards the trigger while depressing the plate pin to remove the assembly. The bolt has a flag safety that must have been modified with a Buehler safety because it is a two position with safe on when the flag is turned upward and off when turned to the right which I understand is opposite of the 3 position mauser type. Unfortunately the scope mount is hiding what is on top of the barrel, however, it looks like a crest symbol or perhaps a flower. On the other side is a number stamped 7900. On that same side there are some symbols with PV and an arrow pointing away from the PV. On the side of the rifle is The Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre and underneath is Herstal. I came across a FN Mauser configured in 25-06 that was in excellent condition and it is now part of my collection.
