Greek FN 30 Mauser WW2 (All Matching & complete example !!)

This is an extremely rare example of a complete all matching
FN 30 Mauser "Greek contract" H block (70,000th series) one of the very last examples made. These rifles were scheduled to replace the Greek Mannlicher 1903's. Unfortunately due to the outbreak of WW2 and Italian invasion of Oct 28 1940, approximately 50,000 units are presumed to have been delivered. However according to Anthony Vanderlinden's book (FN Mauser Rifles Arming Belgium and the World) The H block 7th series was partially delivered to Greece before the Italian invasion and the remaining 3000 units were captured at the FN plant in spring 1940 and sequestered to the German army after they overran Belgium.

My boss said he had a couple old rifles he wanted me to check out. Brought them to work and what I saw was an FN 30 Mauser all numbers matching with a cracked stock but beautiful bore and fully functional. In addition to that, a 1916 Norwegian Krag carbine chambered in 6.5x55 but had sadly been sporterized. Such a shame, hoping to make a deal on both of them as well as a beautiful 7.7 Arisaka with bayonet he has

I did my best. What a beautiful rifle.

Ioannis Metaxas Thank you so much, I have a very similar rifle that was sporterized. Not a huge loss because the numbers were all mixed and I was looking foe a strong shooter. But I couldn’t find anyone who knew exactly what the gun was.

Thanks Metaxas

I love to get my hands on one of them, beautiful!

[@anthonyhayes1267]

I have one myself. It's beaten up a bit but still an ergonomic joy at the range.

Not prime minister, dictator...he was a dictator. Για να λέμε και του στρατού το δίκιο.
