It also appears as if your rifle NEVER had a serial number on it. This company is well renowned, especially for inventing and producing the FN FAL rifle. Plus, you got a very nice Mauser action on that thing!įirst of all, it looks like it was made by the Belgium Fabrique National de Herstal company. Jerry Brown is well known to be an avid antique gun collector.

In his veto, he said: "I do not see how requiring a serial number will prevent any crimes" The marked firearm could not be imported, exported, traded, exchanged, transferred or loaned in any way.įortunately, the bill was vetoed by governor Jerry Brown. You could still keep the CA-DOJ serialized firearm. Banned all unmarked firearms and required confiscation of the unmarked firearmsĥ. Banned all such firearms once the CA-DOJ serial number was imprinted. The CA-DOJ serial number and firearm would need to be registered with the State of Californiaģ. Marking all unmarked firearms, (even priceless antiques), with a CA-DOJ serial number.Ģ. or the so-called "Ghost Gun bill" that made its way to the Governor's desk here in California just recently. In fact stuff like this is largely exempt even in the state of California. You do NOT need to turn your firearm in to the PD. Of course the other option is to jus t bur y it.Īny Curio and Relic Firearm, (or for that matter, any firearm manufactured before 1968), is exempt from the serial number requirement of the 1968 GCA. It would make sense to me to either size it down with the expander removed, then ream the interior, or leave the expander ball in, size, then outside ream.maybe it makes no difference? What say you, what's best, in your opinion? On e thing I can see.I need to finish my annealer project. Or can a person "register" a new serial #?Īs for reaming after neck down. Don't know what the options are.give it to the police? Or are really old Mausers exempt. Obviously not the best smithing job polished out all finitely no giant "FN" logo. After spending hours on the internet trying to ID the rifle, I think its an FN (style) model 98 with a double-set trigger. Right now I'm taking it apart looking for a serial number. The original plan was to give the ".243" to a grandson who loves to hunt who has already got his first bull elk and buck using my guns. I'm not 100% commited on this project.yet.
