Chrome-vanadium steel marking? Then it is a sporting rifle, not military configuration, right? 'Just like' is not much help in identifying stuff real pictures of the actual rifle is what it takes. Please is this rifle any good, has it got a reputation any info would be much appreciated, Jason. Markings on side of breach ''ARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL-BELGIOUE' and top of barrel and butt plate has FN logo, on top of barrel stamped a little crown with R under it then a star with K under,then a lion figure on a line and PV under it and then another crown with E and LG under then a star under that.
