is a FN 1912 .22lr trainer built until around 1935 and found a dealer with one that has a good stock but the reciever is cracked on the top of the chamber so i am hoping to make one good complete gun and with some epoxy on the bad stock make a wall hanger .

I have an old F/N Single shot boy's style rifle that retuned to Liege for rechambering to .22 extra long in 1898 according to the proof marks. This is a very light rifle that weighs all of 3 1/2 lbs....
Tell me about the extractor on your gun- is it on the bolt, or is there a seperate rail running under the breech for it? I am 350 miles to the east of you in Winnipeg, and gunnutz is back on line-

Just a quick p.s. here- a rifle made in 1912 predates high velocity ammo- I'd keep it to standard velocity, or subsonic ammo- likely how the receiver cracked on that soon to be wall hanger....
