a 7x54 by Jean Fournier SN: JF 053









http://www.naturabuy.fr/Vente-carabine-Fournier-7x54-item-2471230.html

again a rifle probably bought by Fournier in parts out of the MAS factory stock. the receiver without SN and caliber designation, the 7x57 Mauser barrel rechambered to 7x54 Fournier and the hole rifle not painted black but only phosphated.


a remarkable detail is the use of the 7x54 Sako (or Lapua ?) in the 7x54 rifles. the 7x54 was a cartridge no rifle exist when it came into production, its a 6,5x55 necked up to 7mm and the base diameter is +/- 0,2mm under the base diameter of the 7x54 Fournier/7,5x54 but it seems nobody care about it.
