Raimey,

Remember that Fabrique National was formed to fulfil the Russian Nagant contract. Also, during WWI the German occupation forces quickly took control of Belgian gun factories to produce badly needed parts. The Belgian factories did experience a "slow down" for a time. It seems some workers would take racks of guns and move them around the factory so the German inspectors kept counting the same rack over and over. Eventually, they wised up.
