FNH 1950 Colombian Mauser Short Rifle
After WWII, Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Belgium was still producing weapons of model 98-type (licensed by Mauser), and actually had been doing so for decades. They sold these contract weapons to countries on virtually every continent. After the war, Belgium adopted the FN 49 semi-auto rifle in 30/06 as their main battle rifle. Belgium knew it would be quite awhile until all their troops could be supplied with the complicated Model 49 rifle. So, Belgium adopted a Model 98-type rifle in caliber 30/06 (with a 23.5 inch barrel) as substitute standard for units not yet outfitted with the semi-auto Model 49. The new 30/06-caliber bolt rifle was given the model designation 1950. 1950 is the only military FN Mauser ever built that was factory chambered for the 30/06 cartridge. Some of them were ordered from Peru and Colombia.
