Description:

This rifle was part of the mid-20th century Egyptian contract and has Egyptian crown crest of King Farouk on the receiver ring, matching Egyptian markings, and the standard one line FN address and "34932" on the right side of the receiver. The lower scope mount section is marked "O.I.P.-1955/BELGIQUE". The upper section has the "ECHO" and two line Idaho address marking. The scope itself has the matching Egyptian serial number on top between the rings and the Meopta markings at the rear. It has a front lens cap and a rear rubber eye piece. The rifle also has the standard battle sights, a muzzle brake, and bayonet lug. It is mounted with a walnut pistol grip stock and handguard fitted with an additional cheek piece for proper eye alignment. The right side of the butt has the Egyptian stock disk, and the butt has a brass buttplate with empty compartment. Only 30 Egyptian snipers are estimated to have been imported to the U.S.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The rifle retains 95% plus of the black anodized finish and has various minor marks. The wood is very fine with some dents and minor scrapes. The markings are crisp throughout. The optics and action are excellent.
