Manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale (FN), this rifle is one of a limited number imported by Browning Arms in the early 1970s. Originally approved by the U.S. BATFE for importation, the Bureau shortly thereafter reversed the decision, determining that the imported commercial rifles were too close to FN's selective-fire capable military contract FALs in configuration. Further imports were cut off, and those already through customs were given a pass and added to the BATFE C&R List (see page 23). Features standard winged post front and range adjustable peep rear sights, long flash hider with bayonet lug, folding carry handle, and adjustable gas port with grenade launching setting. The left side of the receiver is marked "F.A.L. cal. 7,62", and the right side bears the one-line Fabrique Nationale address. The trigger housing has the "S/R/A" selector markings with semi-automatic only selector. Fitted with ventilated walnut triangular forearm, polymer pistol grip, and walnut stock with ribbed metal buttplate. Matching "655" serial numbers marked on the bolt carrier and bolt. The safety sear has been discarded, but the sear pocket is unaltered. With khaki web sling.

Exceptionally fine, retaining 90% original black finish with scuffing on the charging handle minor edge wear and spotting on the buttplate, and minor handling marks. Stock is excellent with limited handling wear. Mechanically excellent.
