G'day Stirlo,
FAMAGE = Reformado Fabrica de Materials de Guerra, a Colombian Arsenal in Bogota where these formerly 7x57mm Mausers were converted from 1951 onwards to 30-06 after the US began supplying arms and ammo to Colombia.They converted Czech Vz23 +Vz24, Belgian FN24 + FN30, Steyr Solothurn M1929. A number of Belgian FN Model 1950 chambered in 30-06 from the factory were also imported. These may be found as long rifle, short rifle, carbine and a very short Police Carbine. Shooting the Police Carbine in 30-06 is an experiance, especially at night!! Cheers.
