I know for a fact that many do!

I refuse to join that category so I've been organizing and cataloging, and condensing down, for awhile now. Not saying that I haven't added any, as I have, but getting a plan together is paramount for families. IMO! Smile

Thanks Mike!  I know that I sure enjoy looking at other people's stuffLaugh

I just have to figure out what my wife should do with all of these things when something happens to me.........I bet many on this forum struggle with that dilemma.

Hi Bert 
Any idea when they started factory drilling and tapping the 43’s. I’ve got one in 22 hornet that if it’s not factory somebody that really knew what they were doing did it. The serial number is 37066A. 
  

M43 s/n 370066A was factory drilled & tapped for scope blocks on the receiver frame rings.  If the barrel or side of the receiver is D&T, then it is aftermarket work.  As Jeff mentioned, the rear bridge of the receiver frame has a 45-degree bevel on the specimens that were not factory drilled & tapped.

Knowing FN, I expect that has been resolved. However, if I were going to buy one, I would try to buy one from a reputable shop with an inventory of them from which to choose and that had an on-site gunsmith. 

That is being ultra conservative but, at a minimum, I would not buy one sight unseen. 

Out of box, you should expect to get 1.25 to 1.5 MOA, at least, I'd guess.
