I'd leave it alone. Good caliber and easy to load. Your dies will work fine, and may already have an S-bore expander ball. Just measure it.
Ditto.
The bolt handle configuration is very much different from my 1939 Husqvarna 146, 1953 Husky 648 and my son's .270, all of which sport FN-made actions.
I am assuming that DEFOURNY did not make their own actions but probably bought FN actions. Is that correct? Would they have purchased FN actions, then altered the bolt to a specification of their own? Is this a common handle configuration for this maker?
