As some of you know the the FN 1900 "straight grip" is nearly a unicorn. FN manuals depict a straight grip version in both the parts breakdown and the rifle function illustration, but up until now there was only 1 recorded example; a late production gun originally owned by John Browning's son, Val Browning. Now there's 2 we know of!

This FN 1900 has been in France all of its life. The current owner found our website article on the FN 1900 and reached out. It has a peculiar stock, not just that it's a straight grip but also that it's canted, likely a special order configuration. The gun is cased and is in exception condition. What a treasure!

That's a sweet rifle and custom case! I'm glad the gentleman was able to find the page and contact you..

It appears that there's at least 2.5-3" of "cast off" in that buttstock. Custom work like that is extremely rare to see in modern times.

Thanks for sharing 81Police.
