Manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale (FN) c. early 1970s and one of a limited number of "G" series FAL semi-automatic rifles imported by Browning Arms. Originally approved by the U.S. BATFE, the Bureau reversed its decision on the legality of the imported commercial rifles, determining that they 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 adjustable peep rear sights, long flash hider with bayonet lug, adjustable gas port, and a folding carry handle. The left side of the upper 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 locked out "A" spot. Matching serial numbers on the trigger housing, bolt, and bolt carrier. Fitted with a walnut forearm, smooth plastic pistol grip, and walnut stock with ribbed metal buttplate. Note: This item is restricted under various state-level assault weapons bans and cannot be sold or transferred to residents of CA, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, NJ, NY, and WA. Please check your local laws and regulations prior to bidding.

Exceptionally fine, retaining 95% original black finish with some light edge wear, a safety drag line, dried grease, and minor handling marks. The walnut furniture is very fine with some light compression wear and scrapes. Mechanically excellent.
