gunman,
In 1975 I was privileged to tour the F.N factory at Herstal for the purpose of reviewing their ,lost wax, lost foam and investment casting process. Also in 1975 I reviewed these casting production methods with the late Don Masters of Churchill.
The action body of the gun the subject of my post, was a malleable Iron casting,likely produced by the shell process or as a traditional sand casting made by the cope and drag method.
It would appear that perhaps the action was a prototype and that the MALLEABLE IRON was not accepted by the trade.
