Well, I'm not sure what a FN130 is but I do know that after the 1968 GCA the Model 10 did not have enough points to be imported ( just as was the Walther PPK ). To over come this obstacle FN/Browning installed adjustable sights, Thumb grove on the grips ( so called target grips ) and imported it that way. It didn't catch on and was dropped in the US around 1970. Hope that helps a little .
