It's not me. I don't think anyone has ever used the term "organized" to describe me.

YUP Why do you know this firearm?

FN 30.06

Once I get the scope off I will know exactly what it is. I'm thinkin Belgian Navy 1950,51,52 although there is some debate about the grey finish which is not enamel but a version of parekerization that the Euro's have been known to use...poished and parkerized instead of beading first as we are used to seeing.

You're quite the super-slueth Oke.....

LOL Naw, I just binged the phrase and the first entry that came up was the ad for the gun in some local firearms publication.
