Converted into a .22LR training rifle using a Parker Hiscock magazine and a new production barrel. Blade front sight with side protectors, tangent rear sight, and fully adjustable flip up receiver peep sight. Various proofs are present with "SHT '22 / IV*" marked on the stock socket (right side). Full length stock and handguards with various proofs behind the trigger guard, brass buttplate, and canvas sling.

Very good. The rifle retains 85% faded original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is some minor pitting (mostly on the magazine). The wood is very good with a repaired sliver on forearm (right side near breech), initial carved on handguard in front of rear sight, and a long crack on handguard near breech, along with some minor dings, scratches, pressure dents, and gouges. Stock disc has been removed with cut-out plugged.

Large "crown/B" over "ABL / 1952" marked on top of receiver ring with one line FN address on left wall. Inverted "V" and tangent sights with a receiver peep sight. Matching number on receiver, stock and bolt.

Excellent. The rifle retains 98% original phosphate finish with some minor handling marks and limited minor flaking. The wood is also excellent with some very scattered minor handling marks.
