Here are some marks, one on the bolt handle and one on the receiver. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/215084/filename/20230203_17080811.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/215085/filename/20230203_16473711.jpg)

No idea as to the maker but it appears to have been a Czech conversion to sporter.

Think I've seen that receiver ring atop image before. Oh yeah! It's termed "ink blot"!  But trying to be serious for a moment (it's tough)... The serial depicted looks suspiciously of a neat & orderly production rearsenal job likely of postwar application w/ new SN applied. Differing or restatement of original, another question. I've seen comparatively few double Alfa digit SN prefixes. Some Chinese such as "AF". Bolts are simply too swapable to typically be definitive as such alone suggesting origin of a sporterized 98 barreled action. (Serial of 'FH" prefix matches French Mas 36 as only bit of dicta. Any under-stock positioned metal markings perhaps of help... or not! Best of luck with ID! John

Not a rearsenal, a conversion to sporting rifle. Think Brno.

Hey z1r... i'M going to think "Rearsenala' scrub & SN reassignment likely same time. With all such as 'done deal', sporterization likely following on this side of Atlantic. Just my take. The 'net' here either case as 'whatever! Best! John

And you are wrong. But, hey, just keep guessing.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
