[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 4720323, member: 45230"] The handguard seems to be more a design flaw than anything else. Only held on by a metal clip (for easy removal?) and it pops off too easily. The magazine box is similar to an Enfield/ Typical of pretty much all non detachable box magazines. It isn't a bad rifle but I get the impression FN was still feeling their way in producing a semi auto battle rifle. The FN MAS 49 only lasted a short time before being replaced by the much better FN FAL. [/QUOTE]
