Also, I was given information that scraps my thought of the rifle being manufactured by FN. Showing that forum the photo attached to this post (which refuses to rotate to my preferred position), I was told the rifle was probably a Czech Vz.24 by the looks of the stock. This led to me checking for any manufacturers marks to confirm.
However, it seems the Colombian military scrubbed almost all original markings during he 1952 rebuild, except for one. Above the serial number there is an identification mark of a T in a circle. I was told this is a Steyr mark, thus pointing to the rifle originally being a Steyr 1912 or a Steyr-Solothurn 12/34.
