Great info on the FN. Thanks, as well, for sharing your interesting experiences.
Interesting info on Saive and the FN49. I love this site and learn something new almost every day. As I understand it, Saive designed all of the HiPower and only used JMBs locking system. Browning generally gets the credit for the full design.
I don't take anything away from John Browing. IMHO, the greatest firearms designer ever. Look at how many off his designs have stood the test of time.
