I have shot a 30-06 de-miled version and it is very heavy and thus a pleasure to shoot. The one I shot would occasionally go full auto and empty the magazine. This auto fire occurred when I was standing next to the shooter and permanently damaged my hearing. The owner then reworked the action and it never went full auto again.

Added information about secondary countries, added references, added updated information about dates of purchase and correct countries by chronological order.-- Radio Flyer-Reloader ( talk) 00:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've added the section Argentinian modification and rearranged text accordingly (+ other minor improvements); as I believe that the fact that the rifle was locally modified is of interest, quite significant, and it reads better segregated from the main text which enumerates the "production" contracts.
If other countries also made significant alterations to the weapon, maybe a brief heading ofor each one would be useful.
Regards,

Hi, this interesting article seems to be based mostly on a single source (at least the one cited, Wayne Johnson's book). Can anyone please improve the article by adding information and citations from other verifiable sources? Thanks & regards, DPdH ( talk) 14:53, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
Wasn't the FN49 also issued to the West German "Bundesgrenschutz" from 1949 until the late 1950s?
How'd you get away with not signing this? No normal signature, no sign-bot signature, no i.p. address? Yolo McSwagginz93 ( talk) 22:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of FN Model 1949's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:21, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
