That Francotte is great!
Curious, though, when called an “FN magnum action”, what does that mean?
That action looks to be a regular FN action to me, at least judging by the positioning of the crossbolt. Not as long as an original Oberndorf magnum length action.

I would say 100% that is a standard M98 action that has been opened up for the 416 Rigby cartridge. You can see the amount of opening up done on the feed ramp/lower locking lug recess area. I am not sure but I imagine the true Magnum Mauser action also had an extended length magazine follower not the standard version that leaves a gap in the front as the one in the photo does.

My own Type A standard length Mauser has been opened up for the 404 Jeffery cartridge and the magazine and feed ramp look very similar to that in the photo. The feed ramp for the 416 is even more radically ground away to fit the longer again 416 Rigby cartridge.

FN never made a true Magnum length Mauser action. What they advertised as their “FN Magnum Action” were merely standard length actions, opened up to take .375 H&H and .404 length cartridges.

take the chance to compare the original african model (70 cm barrel )




with the french Rival mauser (72 cm barrel)



both in 10,75x68, it seems clear the rival was more or less a copy of this design

but, there is no dishonour in copy the best
thank you for your attention





just for the archive, it sold for 4211 euro

This 8mm has a very nicely grained stock. So much nicer than the blank planks we see today.

Any way to determine the chambering of this gun by the single visible mark in the pictures:

Very cool looking gun, not something you see a lot in these parts

What a line up of rifles to have: .333; .375; .404, .500.

I assume the .375 is an H&H.
